Hovering in the Wings

Terror hovers in wings dangling threat -

evil schemes to intensify all my fears.

Terror convulses with laughter as he designs

a convoluted plan to combine my aversions.

First, he introduces me to a skyscraper summit

takes me to edge and makes me look down.

Then, he drags me to the glass elevator

hanging from the cable on the building outside.

After that, Terror suggests the crowded arena

so many pushing people, I quiver like jello

But the final thing that does me in

Terror induces me to submit to an MRI

Terror laughs wickedly as he finishes me off!
