My Gift
For you to feel as you feel right
I may not be as great as I say I am
But that does not stop me from being great.
All those who have known me
All know that it was my fate
To be greater than the common man.
One does not simply want to be
Just adequate.
Everyone can see
I’m better than that.
Who dares try and test
Me. I know
I am the best
At everything you cannot do.
I guess I have a certain quality
Nobody else has.
Even authority
Tremble when in my presence.
As I said, I have a gift.
Sit in silence
And enjoy the lift.

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
