Household Caltrops
Maybe you thought it couldn’t get worse
Than stepping on a Lego
Strolling along
Expecting smooth floor beneath your foot
And then
FLASH
A small, merciless plastic cube
Embeds in your heel
Jolting white hot panic
Through rudely awakened nerves
You fall
Or sit
Groaning
Waiting for that shrieking pulse
In your heel
To quiet
And your heart to calm
Maybe you thought you knew then
What it was to hurt
But
Have you ever
Trod on
Four-sided dice?
