The Genius At Work

Low wage-slave she suffers
buffoons and jeans stuffers
checking her out at check out.
Though well educated
her love life was fated
to doom for she wed a lout.
So she smiles at the jerks
all lined up where she works
then writes poems to get it out.

M. Hussain Effendi Date: 9/25/2011 7:47:00 AM How long can she carry on, releasing anguish through poems. She needs to take control and fix her life. Sad, but great write NJ. Very unusual of you, I think... take care, Hussain Login to Reply Nancy Jones Date: 9/25/2011 9:00:00 PM "She needs to take control and fix her life".. Easy to say, my friend... way, way, way harder to do given the givens of society.
