Pensive War
That was hers to win
In attempting to open the can of peas,
the nymphet cuts the skin on her thumb.
Blood ensues curtly,
like oblivious treatment.
Disregard the wounded girl who has gone astray.
To choose herself would be a cruel slaughter to the bond with her dear mother.
She is a nymphet, no longer , she is now a beast
and a tempestuous one too.
What an ambush of fleshy revelations for the weak-minded.
Life is never without it's myriad of ambiguities.
-Like the colors on a butterfly's wing
will them to be orange or blue
but they will be whatever they are.
To speak the truth or not, we would never know the difference.
There are instances of even flatness.
Impartial to their madness
Pressure wanes then vertigo follows.
The serpent does forgive
because she breeds poise
unlike the half-wits who are her beneath her.
