Some of our sisters
are the most twisted
villains;

She brings coffee
when she senses a mess,
a hint of drama,
a speck of a stressful item
on the agenda,
pretends to be there
to just listen,
help you question
while you sort out the situation,
and then, when you are spent
and absent,
she hisses about those moments
she calls your weakness
in hopes that it will open
her next promotion a sliver,
or, maybe,
help her finally sprout a penis.
