Vertigo

30 poems in 30 days challenge! Day 25

That was devious
A delightfully devious little scheme
She loved it

The vertigo would
take him to the edge of reason
Drive him to the point of
succumbing fully
Moving through time and space
at lightening speed
Like a roller coaster through hell
Like strobe lights flashing silver
every one tenth of a second

And then they would do it
Force him to change his will
The old sod had left them out
'No pills until we get every penny out of you'
They would say

But nothing much was in their destiny
The old man had an attack that night
Crossing the street
Blinded by the lights of a New York Cabbie
Hit and killed.
