she can't win in this new microcosm
she stumbled in
pretending to be ruthless
when she is not
but they are
all the sharks om
a fish tank of their own
having had much more practice
as exploiting the
vulnerable
when for all of her life
she has only exploited those
who deserve it
corrupting those who want to be corrupted
we who in the back of
our little brain
lust for it and she gives it only
with a charge
feeling more than
guilty over it
even though in the
end she gives us
exactly what we've asked for
dreamed of even
sold our souls to get
but here now yesterday
even she swims in a tank
with fish better at doing
what she is doing
and worse doing it guilt free
not giving us what we need
or want in exchange
and she gets trapped in their trap
when she thought she had
trapped them in hers
that's what hurts
most
for those of us who
want to be used by her
for what she offers in return
when the other sharks
gobbled her up for no good reason
