Youve come a long way baby
but there are crass men eidgets wholl interrupt yougrab you by your hairdrag
you out of linesend you back to the end because somehow
they cantheyre allowed because you
threaten their sorry lil selves you rebuke their vulgar overtures Who the fuck do
you think you are cunt to turn your nose up at me
you didnt say a word
you
didnt have to
it flashederupted in your eyes unmistakably brilliantneon
it flashederupted in your eyes unmistakably brilliantneon
enraged by a lack of decency
demanding Who do you think you are
demanding Who do you think you are
these supposedmen cant handle rejection
Mommas boys
theyve been stoked for breathingstoked
for at long last able to wipe their own asses
their deficient Mommies and Daddies
if they had both
were somehow impressed but particularly if
their Mommas made them feel so very special
it
was your job too
who were you not to see they were and treat them in
kind
when they knocked you down because physically they could
in their disgusted exhaleif you could have heard Mirror
mirror on the wall restroom lookingglasses worked
zitmarred lockerroom glass worked stoked them their moving reflections in peripheral plateglass storefronts their dull reflections in aluminum
trim on grocery store refrigerated display cases
they were slick and practised
it was rare to catch them during their averted glancessizing
themselves up mighty damn proud they were the cats meow their Mommies insisted their Daddies demanded that their Daddies demanded of their wives
prides a powerful drug
an aint a bitch alive who sees
otherwise gonna keep her place in line
not as long as they can throw them headlong onto their faces kick them in ass screaming To the end of the line cow
after she was assault by a coward
in a hoodie casted waiting surgery an old man behind her in a Target linepeeved she
was holding things up she was still new to crutchesnever having been on them before obviously
struggling the old white man said out
loud to anyone listening Somebody ought to punch her off her crutches finish it
make it easier for everyone else whos being forced to wait on her whichof course meant make it easier for
him usually people who say everyone they
them theyre speaking only for themselves
and seeking a safe harbor that everyone they and them would provide erstwhile
safety in numbers despite
their utter fabrication
she didnt bother with her cumbersome
crutchesshe hopped painfully sidewise You got a mouse in your pocket old man
he put a face on like she hurt
his feeling
then she might have gone a little
bit overboardher pain medicine wavering
Youre time on the planet old man is about over Do us a favor and leave
then then she excoriated him You wanna take this outside Ill beat you senseless with these crutches
and then the pièce de résistance
the coup de grace sounds
so nice in French As I see it the only silver lining in your
life is that youre almost dead
she was escorted from the premise
by security a security man walking to
either side of her on crutches
