Salvation

As the Teminator stands in the shadows
waiting for its victim to come home 
from work a mosquito lights on its neck 
and begins to draw blood. The Teminator
doesn't feel a thing, which is exactly how
this is supposed to go. As it happens,
the mosquito was sent back in time
to be there in that spot moments before
the cyborg can carry out its mission
and restore order to the future. After
filling up on blood the mosquito zips
down the sidewalk to find the man
targeted for termination and lands on
his nose prompting the man to slap it
and splatter blood all over his hand.
"It didn't even bite me yet," thinks
the man, and he is inspired to write
a haiku which he immediately adds
to his blog before resuming his walk
towards home where the Terminator
still waits, unaware that this is all
about the haiku and the blood.
