The Making Of A Serial Killer

The top of the box reads
“Lift here to open”,
The opposable thumb slides
Under the tab,
Breaks the seal,
Tears the tab away
Without opening the box,
Hands rip
At the box top,
Getting to the meat of the issue,
Grabbing and tearing
At the titanium strength cellophane
Which does not yield
The spilling of its guts,
Kitchen drawer flies open,
Butcher knife
Slices the fingers that wrap
Around the blade,
Blood flies as the blade
Stabs and stabs,
The gut is ripped open,
Its contents splatter against the wall,
This isn’t the first time
This has happened.
