Backfire

Everyday,

 Im going to constantly bug you 
with beautiful aggressive sarcasm 
that it will cause your words
to catch fire,
even before the match 
is even out the box.

Then I will dismantle your words
and display them like a trophy 
on my mantel for all your friends
to come and see at your expense.
