She Pretends She Is a Peacemaker

Dorothy’s fabricated Pollyannaism struck me as obnoxious. She pretends to be a pacificator at these PTA meetings. I have seen her social media posts. She is an avid hawk with violent words. She loves guns and bullets. Pretending to be a dove here. Asking for us to vote her in as president. Does she have the other women fooled? Should I stand up and speak? I catch the eye of another woman. We do not know each other. Our eyes roll in unison and we laugh. I let things slide, hoping others are not fooled.

Nice. This poem reminds me of many whom I would not give the time of day to simply because of their enigma.
