Rude Awakenings

Last night my head exploded.

No one was hurt but me.

No wonder no one will sleep with me.

I'm dangerous.

Who keeps exploding my head?

They must know

How volatile are its contents.

Not much will set it off.

My head has always exploded at night,

Waking me up with a start--

Heart racing, sweating profusely, and

Surviving the blast.

Now it's exploding in the daytime

For no reason at all

Head mines tripped by accidental thoughts

With a perimeter of collateral damage.
