Spitting out syllables

machinegun style,

fighting the compulsion

to put “them” in “their” place.

A girl can only 

take so much.

Or a woman.

Nor a woman.

I get light in the head,

right in the head,

falling down dizzy drunk

when confronted,

not the best way

to deal with problems.

Not the worst.

“it is what it is.”

“it is what it is?”

Bugger off!
