Sit, sit back into the risky preposition
You might not remember when
but you will remember, how unsetling
Sit, sit down on the brisk composition
of shapes and countour of or the risky chair.

The prisoner is strapped in a chair, and sodium cyanide pellets are dropped into a bucket of acid. If the prisoner breathes deeply, death comes almost at once.
