A Twist
With a faint whisper, a secret is told.
With one sentence the secret unfolds.
With one turn and furious scowl.
A man begins his prowl.
With a stubborn pride and goal.
With a fire burned out with no more coal.
There begins a walk through the cold.
With a good strong kick, the door goes down.
With a yell, comes the bark of a hound.
With one swing of a clenched and shaky fist.
Comes the piercing sound of a bang.
With the end of the mentally broken man, comes the twist.
