NORA NEMESIS

She evens the score:
a spoonful of applesauce meant for the mouth
hits the floor.

She's famous for a lack of aplomb,
applesauce -- a time bomb.

She gives you the dropsies,
objects that fly, no reason why.

Scary thoughts that come unbidden,
hers alone.  I will not own.

Crossing Nora? Don't try it.
You'll live to decry it.

She's whatever haunts you,
seems to want you, but

send white light.
She fades from sight.
