Intimidated By a Smart Female

He came by to see her project, not caring for Zoom. 
His male arrogance preceded him into the room 
She attempted to show him her cyborg solution.
Off task, he told her about his ideas for pollution.

I thought you were here to see my project, she said.
He was not embarrassed, this pompous guy, Ted.
I am here to see if anything you are doing is worthwhile.
She did not give him any leeway, a joke or a smile.

This scientifically minded woman is all business. 
She began drawing in the air, cyborgs appear through kismet.
The misogynist male was intimidated as a computer appeared.
He was out of his element and became a tiny bit afeared.

Atta girl. Loved your use of adjectives in describing the ego of that guy.
