master of her universe June 19, 2012

 

 



I’m a stubborn son of a bitch.

I want to go to the party

 if only to prove I’m not afraid

 when in fact I’m scared to death.

The office gossip, 

who sees all and knows all 

even with me and her, 

frowns when I say I might attend,

 even as I quake in my shoes

at being in another bar 

where she can put on a show 

to get even with me, 

she is a master of that universe 

and has power to drawn men’s attention, 

and I am a sheep 

led by the nose to slaughter, 

no Daniel in that den of hers,

 while she may have a splinter in her paw,

 I am incapable to removing it, 

since I’m the one who put it there 

I’s a stubborn son of a bitch, 

but not stupid enough to be there

 to give her the spike she might

 smite me with,

 my already vivid imagination

 filling in all the details.

I have no need to see if for real.
