National Poetry Writing Month 2023, Day 19

Playing catch-up: https://www.napowrimo.net/day-nineteen-8/.

You might think it was Karen Black
that scared me

No, it was that doll
with those evil eyes
and pointy teeth

I don’t know what happened
in those two or three minutes
between turning off the TV
running up the stairs
running down the hall to my room
running back down the hall to the stairs
running back down the stairs
and turning on the TV again

But Karen Black now had
those evil eyes
and pointy teeth

Okay, it was Karen Black
that scared me
