Huckster
Are you truly a fool?
Or just prodding,
the ant-heap of argument
for the sake of it?
Why do you enjoy watching
your up-ended antagonisms
falling out?
For sure, you stoke
the steam of despise and spoil,
but where you go - ego flags.
What is the point of you?
Your tools are blunt, but
they won’t cut through my paper.
Well, I’ve clicked my heels
and I know.
You are nothing more
than a tiny grey grotesque
pulling the easy levers behind
the fake wizard grimace of
an intimidating mask.
