Analysis of Twister
Sarah Brower 1995 (New Jersey)
It’s a twister! Its a twister!!
Names gyrate around the cone
moron, unlovable, worthless
spilling over
dripping syllables
Making sure I don’t forget
that I’m an idiot
I’m a burden
I’m a waste of creation
Wait a minute
who said I had to taste test?
Nobody!
Watching the toxic liquid drip
letting the floor devour its matter
does not belong in my space
So
I
Let
It
Melt
