Marti Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Marti

She told me: "Am Marti, "
So, let her be Marti.

Was mustang in her walk
Or some mare that at last
Could take me for a ride!

She was well, confident
Capable lioness…

Fell in love with her way
Of speech, it made sense.

"This is my first dinner…"
She said and explained:
"…without my boyfriend."

They had fight, broke up,
Now was lost, no smile,
Confused, no makeup…

I tried to soothe her
With few examples,
So, told her:
"Used to work with Uber,
Had many encounters,
One was my passenger
With tears, her eyes red."

Gave Marti enough time,
Then mimicked passenger:
"Spent months to convince
My heart, mind and parents
To move in with the guy…
Found him cheating on me,
In my bed and shameless
With my own girl friend…"

Then, informed Marti that:
"Life is bitch and sucker,
Fight her or surrender…"
