A High School
Teacher’s Final List
List #4: (a) abyss (b) imminent
I knew that it was imminent—
I’d tumble into that abyss,
Where I could hear the rattlers hiss,
And all of us knew what that meant.
I stood there, reeling on the brink
Of cliff and all eternity.
Why was this happening to me?
And then it happened—in a blink.
My lover grabbed me by the hand—
She kissed me, said that I was saved.
From then on, I was well behaved—
As you must surely understand!
(The snakes were angry—lost their chance
To bite me, see me writhe and dance!)
