Disarming The Bomb

Arriving on the scene at first not knowing your purpose
You are brought over to Examine a box covered in wires and buttons
With a quick stretch of your arms, a crack heard from your elbow

You pride yourself on being the systematic specialist
Someone who is defined by existentialism you know your choice
And as a poet would compose a pentameter, you set to work on your craft

At first all looks quite complex and you are dazzled
Then the components come together and start to make sense
A light goes off and you figure out how it all works

When the universe seems to come together in your mind
Pieces of a puzzle fit together like 2 halves of a scallop shell
A sense of renewal looms over you and a new transition begins

A surge in excitement producing a diaphoretic effect
A heightened euphoria almost as if induced by chocolate
Forget what you thought you knew, all that is over

Your fingers shaking your confidence rallied
You cut a wire and pull another so sure
Just when you thought the bomb was diffused

Ungodly blast of noise and heat assails your senses
In your last second you realize your mistake
How many lives lost by your miscalculation

You won’t be around to find out as perpetual silence sets in
