domestic violence



i made a call, today.
i dialed fortune’s number
& ordered her ass to sit down & listen up.

i told her that i was up to here with her rationale
& that i have had it with her ways,
that it was time for somebody to put her in her place.

“this year is going to be my year
& you better mark my words,” i cautioned her.
“it’s time for you to go & shortchange someone else.”

the not so poor thing was at a loss for words.
when she picked up, she thought
it was just another annoying courtesy call.

she didn’t know that like the snow,
that like the next day effects of binge drinking,
she had overstayed her welcome.

“i’m in the middle of obtaining a restraining order,”
i warned her before hanging up on her.
“stay the fuck out of my life!”
