a man will always blame a woman for his misfortunes


*

oh agonies of heart (cue the thunder and the rolling ship)
she done him wrong
she just no good
she scream and scatter and rant and impose
her will like a grate of iron
oh agonies of heart

how dear the bottle...the immense imagination
and the saving grace of fallen pride--

*

let us break the spell
she's hell and so are you

whatever your slights
and miscues

you both have a handle
(deux ex bungee)

on the magic that
breaks the spell...
