First Reaction: A Poem by Drew Kaufman

First Reaction

Come into my cell. Make yourself at home.

Says the creepy man

Who operates the electric chair

I shot two men

They had blond hair

I didn’t mean to pull the trigger

I panicked

My hands trembled

They stole from me

Just as they were leaving

“BANG!” “BANG!”

My hand pushed the trigger

It was my first reaction

Now this will be my last
