You "Win" Again

With great

creative cruelty

and odious devotion,

you've bred

what I thought could never be:

reciprocal animosity.



Yes - I want now

to do to you

all

that you have done to me -

to blithely waltz

across your land-mined heart



blasting us apart

as you stupidly bleat,

“despise me /

cultivate consistency

/ predicate this

pillory of pain



while I reclaim the comforting contempt

where I have spent

a lifetime

learning to do first

that which I’ve been taught

ought to be done to me”.
