Personal Space
A comic sci-fi boundary anthem escalates ordinary personal space into force fields, blades, and a pocket nuke.

Personal Space
By Smartass Amoeba
Life forms have a concept
Known as personal space
Designed to keep others
A couple of feet from my face
I call that a nice start
So I set my mind to task
Designing layered barriers
To fry your intruding ass
I wired a field generator
Into my belt
Built a singularity ring
A hula hoop of black holes that melt
Anything crossing that boundary
Gets atomized on contact
One wrong step too close to me
And there ain't no coming back
The many layers of getting close to me
Just a few hectares of distance
Subtle no trespassing vibes
You will encounter fierce resistance
The many layers of getting close to me
That perimeter persists
If you can hear me breathing
You are already on the list
To get past that
You better stay on your toes
Whirling dervish razor blades
For anyone who gets too close
Spinning with a pleasant little whine
Circling sharp and wide
Space is not merely a guideline
Best respected from outside
If you are still so inclined
And making it this far was no fluke
Say hello to my last line of defense
My good buddy the pocket nuke
Small enough to travel with
Easy to conceal
Solves the awkward problem
Of standing just too damn near
The many layers of getting close to me
Just a few hectares of distance
Subtle no trespassing vibes
You will encounter fierce resistance
The many layers of getting close to me
That perimeter persists
Please enjoy the mushroom cloud
And kindly cease to exist
