To Ms. S Poem by RIC BASTASA

Do i have to step down
and use your
language of abuse
so that i can
understand your world?

I may have been
air
you may not have felt
yet my
water
you have not yet
landed to
my island
yet this does not give
you the power
over my soul
and call me just like
any person that
you have conquered
by putting
them within the confines
of your
being the worst idiot
i have ever met

i am sorry too
for having met first
the devil in you
