"Buttons"

by Jeph Johnson

 

I like to provoke

because in my world

if you're not provocative

you're boring. 

 

what looks like

only a button to push

for me

often becomes a trigger

firing a bullet

into someone else

so I end up

avoiding even buttons

 

then my pants fall down

because I was avoiding buttons

 

(I warned you it's never boring)
