The Incredible Hulk

The tight winding of unreleased spring;
a balloon before it bursts;
the agitated wasp’s incisive sting;
the welling spume of Vesuvius, Krakatoa.

An accumulation of hurts;
final constriction of the Boa;
a straw-laden camel’s broken back;
no flight but fight’s unleashed attack.

The red-eyed blowing boiler.
A roaring boy! The tanked-up spoiler!
Surging bile from black abyss,
the stabbing tongue’s bitter hiss.

Mindless by-pass of thoughtful sanity,
electric as the pulsing eel,
short-circuiting humanity,
Shouting! Shouting the fires you feel!
