I’m reading a book which I hate, 
each time I start I get a headache 
but I cannot escape; this is what 
marriage is isn’t it – doing things 
you’d never do on your own, like
Having kids – had mine discovering 
I was lonely; hubby wants me read 
it, insists, so rather than incur his 
wrath I dutifully comply, read lines 
I detest so condescendingly 
Written by a supposedly superior 
woman For Women – I hope she 
disappears from Earth’s face, that 
fiery red devils dance, changing 
her dreams into nightmares and
That her dog chews on her toes 
especially, that her words never 
come back to haunt me – may this 
book disappear just like the Marie 
Celeste on the Sargasso Sea…
