Mind Games
After inserting the narcissistic probe,
All he could say was,
Meet me in St. Louie, Louie.
There was never a dull moment
Listening to the guy rattling on.
Amazing-- how one person could be
The center of the universe,
Podcast and all.
Consternation? Exactly.
I was out of patience--
Time for a drubbing.
Take no offense, I said,
But if you do,
Return it in the morning.
Turning to more mundane courses,
Like breakfast
I tried to put the wretch
Out of my head.
But sometimes you just have to live
With what is broken.
In the end, never self-identify
As a narcissistic vagabond,
Because profanity is the habitation
Of small minds.
