Allegro (Woman!)

Jennifer Paige©1998

Like a house a-fire

            She burns

                   Burns

                   Burns

Shakedown

Break down

Relentless anger

            She incinerates

                        Incarcerates

                        Cages

            The girl is cagey

            She’s a fox

                        Sly

                        Quick

                        Slick

            Vixen

Mixin’ up a batch

            Of masochism

            Cataclysm

            Sweet-hot religion

She’s got God in the bowl

            O’ biscuit mix

She promiscuously solicits

At the next Boy Scout bake sale
