Almost Ready! A rantoum (a modern rant pantoum)

BY: The Fall 2021 Forms of Poetry class

Bruised, bloodied, and battered

my legs will give out.

With this empty hand and empty belly,

an hour long wait on a fucking Tuesday.

My legs will give out;

almost ready, my ass.

An hour long wait on a fucking Tuesday,

longer than a line for a goddamn Disney ride.

Almost ready, my ass.

I’m pissed about all of it,

longer than a line for a goddamn Disney ride.

You must fight The Hawk himself.

I’m pissed about all of it.

With this empty hand and empty belly,

you must fight The Hawk himself,

Bruised, bloodied, and battered.
