This poem includes seven (bolded) randomly selected words from a dictionary that I have turned into an epic of legendary proportions. Enjoy.

I don’t have the energy to show up to school

But don’t worry, I have a solution:

*

100 percent guaranteed to burn as fuel

100 miles per hour, acute electrocution

*

A time machine in a cup, because now it’s the 4th of July

I’m a lethal firework on the streets that shot down from the sky

*

A smear on people’s windows, a throttling car-shaped blur

Now that I have my drink, school’s soon going to occur

*

Voltage shooting through my body, the sugar burning up

Reciprocity is out the window and my mind is simply stuck

*

Sugar crash like no other, I’m forced back into the present

Dehydrated, anxious, emotional, on-time, wondering where my drink went.
