Psycho Killer
My coworkers and I
decided today
that you must be a
serial killer.
After all
there has to be something wrong with you.
You see,
I explained
yes
he makes me coffee
cooks me breakfast
and dinner
and he does the dishes
too.
He is respectful
and intelligent and interesting
and his sidelong grin
is downright dangerous.
But he doesn’t know it.
Not always.
I get poems delivered
promptly to my inbox
most mornings
and he has the most
delicious
pillow talk
I’ve ever heard.
Well,
one person asked,
is he quiet?
slightly offbeat?
nice guy?
Yes,
I answered,
he’s great.
Be careful,
she warned.
The neighbors always say,
I never saw it coming
he was so
quiet
a little
offbeat
you know
but he was always
nice
to me.
I really think
my coworker
has to be right.
There must be something wrong with you.
And right now
you seem
pretty darn
great.
There is only one
possible explanation.
You must be a
serial killer.

Randall’s Response:
Too Good To Be True Obstacles
No obstacle
in all my years of
breathing
has ever stumped me
like this one.
There’s a young lady
I like spending
time with and she
apparently thinks I
might be
a serial killer.
A serial killer…
Well, I never!
Hey, and
that isn’t even
the worst of it, see
while she thinks
I might store body
parts in my freezer
I think
she might be
a zombie.
That’s right
kids
a z- AHHH-MBIE.
She’s enthusiastic
about everything and
I’m sure you’ve
seen how excited zombies
can get over brains
not to mention
I do have a pretty good size
brain
well somewhat big.
And you should
see her swagger and stagger
in the early morning hours.
Anyway
I worry about
the union between
a serial killer and
a zombie.
If I was
a serial killer which
I am not; thank you very much!
she couldn’t be
a zombie
without me first
killing her.
However
she can eat my brain
at anytime
regardless because
my brain
is always alive
constant with
thoughts of the most
adorable zombie
who thinks
I might be
a serial killer.
Of course,
one may never know.
