“Whiplash”: Poem of the Week

The Musings of a Concordia Student

Graphic Breea Kobernick

    A poem about taking chances.

    “Whiplash”

    Stopped in my tracks

    He’s pulling, she’s reaching. they’re?

    It’s quiet then loud and all of a sudden it’s her

    With lips that match better.

    She comes fast and he’s gone.

    A welcome car crash without a scratch

    Shakes are excited? Scared? Or just the cold?

    The walk is quick, light. The feeling is fresh free

    But everything surrounding it is wrong. Furs itch and clutch,

    unnatural even when there’s a fit

    Don’t peel the skin, let it breath from within to without

    Breathe her out
