when Trouble Comes
do you turn tail and run?
or were you made from Sterner stuff? such as Muscle Man eraser gum?
do you carry live ammunition?
or set your phasers to stun?
do you LARP
with the neighborhood children?
or were you raised
on gangs with guns?
do you Spar on the Wii ?
or with real life swords?
did you grow up on Atari?
or PS4?
what year were you born?
can you handle your own?
or do you rely on
your buddies jumping in?
do you fight your own battles ?
or are you afraid of your own blood other than Kin ?
can you back up your shit talk?
or am I calling your bluff ?
you better pack a big lunch
you're just posturing tough
better go fetch
your brothers and cousins
or come back
when you're all grown up
I'm not falling for the runaround
we both know
that you won't show up
