better than myself
everyone helpfully informing me
better than everyone else
this is the second time
i made a long-term
commitment
to mild and sweet
but she never is what she seems
her saccharine
is poison
to the poisonous
flip a switch
and she puffs
lights up the room
with a lethal gas
you forget who you are
where you've been
or that you were shaking
your rattle
when she walked in
