sounds of shattering glass

have you ever been bound and gagged before?
thrown in the back of a van?
you'd be surprised how quickly you go numb,
unable to feel anything except fear.

that's why when the kidnapper opens the van doors,
they never make a run for it.
they'd probably roll an ankle
or fall flat on their face, inviting an assault.

it doesn't matter how hard you yell,
'just run for it idiot...
see, this is why movies make no sense,
if it was me, i'd just haul it.'

you don't understand, you are pathetic,
with your fingers slippery with popcorn butter
and your beady, accusatory eyes judging like a god,
you think you've got it all figured out.
