Rapture of Rage

Guilty pleasure

Hate is as much of an art

as love.

Maybe more so, the delicious

wickedness of imagining

what you would do,

what you would say,

given the chance in the arena

of your choice with your

hand-picked audience,

the devilish delight

uncovered in scheming things

you’ll never do, involving

honey, fireants, and salt marshes

at low tide. In reality,

no one is safe. In my imagination,

no one is safe from me.
