The
Burning
a
Bobby John press
Poetic Libretto
Wal-
king
into
smoke
jokin
with
my-
self
found
there
was
thin
line
be-
tween
bein
nervous
and
bein
ex-
cited
Know
this
lady
she
lives
down
wind
bil-
lowing
toxic
cloud
thou-
sands
gas
tanks
old
tires
front
back
seats
front
back
bumpers
on
fire
she
closed
her
win-
dows
prayed
some-
one
on
loud
speaker
ordered
people
to
shelter
in
place
This
is
a five
alarm
fire
its
108
in
high
desert
we
have
ex-
plosions
intense
heat
they
keep
pouring
water
on
the
mon-
sta
its
not a fish so
they
drown it
heard
a captain say
keep
your guys
hy-
drated
we
will be here
all
night
What
does
it
take
to
put
out
a
blaze
when
only
few
can
see
flames
know
what’s
on
fire
what’s
burning
what’s
going
up
yon-
der
This
snake
has
rubber
skin
its
bowels
are
filled
with
water
its
has
multiple
beginnings
only
one
ending
soon
ta
be
pile
soggy
ashes
who
finds
hidden
stashes
in
pud-
dles
The
heat
coming
off
that
wall
visual
effect
streams
H2O
va-
por-
izing
not
afraid
there’s
no-
shade
when
clear
blue
sky
has been
turned
into a smoke
box
got
as
close
as
could be
then
ran
Cool
calm
then
col-
lec-
ted
this
is
my
job
i
am
not
a-
fraid
to
risk
my
life
saving
you
your
pets
your
stuff
For
those
un-
afraid
to
be
what
they are
there’s
a scar given
to
those as brave
