grabbing life by the ears

ppl often say 'grab life by the balls/horns' but i like ears. like i am not being too invasive but at the same time i maintain some form of aggression anyway miki and i have started to write a line of poetry each during lectures with different challenges and themes and here is one we did with vic

theme: write an instructional poem to person you have *harsh feelings for*
           begin line with only verbs

Instructions For You

Click for flame
Lacerate my initials on your cheek
Shed my skin off your mutilated bones
(unzip- beginning from the crown to the back of your head and down the spine).
Take a chisel, hack at your ridges. I want hairlines, not fragments.

Wield a rope, tie a noose and snap.
Douse self in kerosene, stand 20 feet away from all civilians but in front of a mirror 
Watch self spontaneously combust.
Witness the caricature, mock your reflection
Notice my presence flourishing in your wake-
supply oxygen so you never burn out

Savour the moment
as your soul rises above the flames and hisses
at the toxicity of your aura.
Congratulations, Hell crowns its new Queen.

- Miki, Vic, Kris

can you tell who wrote which lines HAHA give you a hint, the order goes like this, Miki -> me -> Vic and Miki again. yay fun times in lectures (wrote this on the cookie wrapper from subway because we are pretentious lol) JK
