Choosing Story Characters


so far, I did not make the selection well
at this rate, my triangle means death
a captain, a mail-carrier, and a plastic figurine

and you say you love everything I write
but this story needs more than a captain,
a mail-carrier, and a plastic figurine
but someone handsome, like you, to appear
with the know-how of mechanical intricacies
to fix the crackle and buzz of my wild words
to sing a song of tragedy, to twist and turn
the wild cacophony of the plot

a captain, a mail-carrier, and a plastic figurine
at this rate, my triangle means death
so far, I did not make the selection well
