The Fooled Of April

...she's knocked her teeth clean out.
.just like me at fifteen...
...some sort of accidental slip.
.a loud rumbling noise...
...screams and wails and tears.
.the motherly instincts to get ice...
...irritation at the shocked and despondent.
.standing outside watching the flames...
...it's not your fault.
.crackling sound of tissue in the back...
...replicating the inferno.
.heartbeats and oh my Gods...
...several punch lines before it clicked.
.the mischievous win again...
...the fooled of April.
