How aware are you?
are you really woke
I act aggressively
I see your disapproving glance
it’s not often I’m allowed
to just go crazy
You think you treat me fairly
squarely and firmly
you plant the seeds deep
The slightest misstep causes me to topple
over into your nightshade
garden of good and bad
The strings that guide keep me high
in the wisteria
delicately balanced
It’s really effing hard to stay erect
budge, nudge, judge
expect, exact, extract
Fly right
I’m tough and keep moving despite
the stones cast
Extreme conditions
elegant or dast
I feel a scream rising through my throat
I cannot take it anymore this double-sided tape!
The mint
the duty
the standards
Jeopardy!
just forget it
then the phone rings, the timer dings and I decide to serve dinner
