Without Apology
She unleashed them easily,
dropping them onto their noses,
as they fell off her coattails as easily
as spiders are shaken off a slippery web
“Bye!” she said, pretending it was not
“Forever bye” which it was, although
they usually did not catch on until years later.
She had her ways, desires, and attitudes.A
Persnickety about them, she did not hesitate to release
Those who disagreed, annoyed, or irritated.
Relatives were not sacred, they were discarded as well.
Without apology she would block them,
unfriend them, and forget them.
Opinionated and self-satisfied, she knew
What kind of people fed her soul.
She collected the dreamers, lovers, and laughers.
Surrounding herself with ideals and ideas
Rather than gossip mongers and rumor-spouters.
Without an apology, she created a new family
And her ultimate satisfying happily forever after life.
