light the fuse

it's a bad
word, but it's the word
you've used
over time.
trapped.
trapped in a bad job,
a bad
marriage, a bad deal,
a bad situation
with no solution
in sight.
the clamp
of claws 
are around your ankle.
you've stepped
into and can't get out.
thankfully,
you have your trusty
matches
and sticks of dynamite
waiting
in your pouch.
