I STMTS

"... you do not need to be a goddamn bitch

when things don't go your way." I feel

you are a bitch when you point out my

naïveté because you might be right. "I've

been doing shit in this town for a long time

to know and understand how things work." I

feel I'm right when you say I'm not because

I've been doing it this way (and nothing's

changed but I have cachet since I don't

question the powerful.) "Whatever the fuck

is ailing you, deal with it." I feel something

is ailing you when you question me because

you don't appreciate how I just get along!

"...you weren't at that meeting with operation

green team." I feel you lied when you brought up

that meeting because you weren't there (even

though you never said you were.) "You are way too

paranoid about people that work in the city..."

I feel you are paranoid when you question

power because I do not. "...it's causing you

to burn bridges with everyone else who may have

given a little bit of a fuck about you." I feel

I don't give a fuck about you when you point

out flaws in my logic because you're burning

bridges when you do that. "I thought you

changed but clearly you're worse." I feel you're

worse when you walk in a room because it's

all your fault. "I'm done with you." I feel

I'm done with you when I don't want to be

questioned because you question me and I ... can't.

  1. My goodness. Seems like a cluster-f--k. I'm not sure there are only two people here. This poem contains multitudes. Whose tongue needs cooling? I looked up "STMTS" but all I got was an artists' organization.

    2. STMTS - - statements. It's really one person speaking. As if they were rewriting their insults in the form of I statements but doing it exceptionally poorly. The whole thing was brought on by a nasty text (in quotes) that I received.

  2. Thank goodness for your boldness in your "I STMTS." I'm crossing my fingers that events unfold so that you CAN. (referring to the last statement:
    I feel

    I'm done with you when I don't want to be

    questioned because you question me and I ... can't.
