Do Not Double Cross Trixie
One is on her way.
I watch her glide by, as if she is a professional skater.
She does not glance my way.
You missed her! Trixie hisses.
Trixie is my muse.
Her hazel eyes are flashing.
I sense she is angry with me.
I will get the next one, I assure her.
But there is a distraction.
The next idea slides past, giggling incessantly!
“That is two!” Trixie hisses.
She has never seemed more snake-like.
I hear her stomp away, and a door slams.
She begins playing her tuba.
I know now that I am in big trouble.
You don’t want to double cross Trixie a third time.
