REBEL - a poem in five parts

by Ryn Gargulinski

i.
if all my pets
rebelled they could
easily kill me – with their
dog claws their
rat scratch their
catalog of teeth – a fat
lizard who might
suck out my
eyes.

ii.
uppers downers cocaine meth –
heroin crack and PCP – all
rebellion – against the will
to live.

iii.
james dean was a
rebel without a cause my friend
dave was a rebel without a
house – while sweet
dean seemed so sexy in his
studly leather angst my friend
dave became
bedraggled began
to smell.

iv.
I shaved thick
rebellious lines on the
side of my
head but the lines were not
parallel and I looked
like an idiot.

v.
if all my pets
rebelled they could
easily kill me – and so
could an angry batch of
kids.
