On The Ropes

by Trisha De Gracia

You know it's funny
now I think about it
all I really see
is just a hazy blur
of what was then
a glittered silhouette.

You drew a picture
in a loop
around my eyes
and I
believed the colours
rather than
that concrete picture frame.

To you it's all the same
a friendly face in this new city
one more classic broad
to line the walls
of your huge trophy case,
a medal to be worn
around your neck
to hang like rotten phallacy.

You've conned a joke right out of me
and put me on the punch-line.
