Damsel

by Nicole D Gregory

Last time I looked
You were the one
everyone is catering to

So the longer we wait
the more ridiculous this gets
and I hate to drag God into this
but
Oh God!
put down the bottle of drunken stupor
and do something

The only distress is because
you want to be the center of
everyone’s attention

~ is she ~
~ isn’t she ~
~ will she ~
~ won’t she ~

Ruby slippers don’t put themselves on
and you know what
You wait long enough
the flying monkeys are
going to make the decision for you

Truthfully
I don’t know who the bad guy is
because no one is tying
you to any train tracks
but if that should happen

I’ll order a cappuccino
with a double shot
of espresso
pull up a table and chair
light a cigarette
and
take a long, cool drag
as the train goes by

You mean we not only get to kvetch together and play Wicked Bitches of the East together but we can drink coffee AND smoke together?!?!? Screw ruby slippers -all we need is your boss's car and a map!
