So many S’s

He's not even Sybil.

Fill him half-full of drink;

that man who Swept her

off her feet,

becomes

a Soul

Sucker.

Harden.

Don't Speak.

Don't give him ammo.

Take the embarr-ASS-ment.

Take it like a woman; don’t react.

Play dumb and numb and run inside.

Stay. Too late, again, for anything Safer.

Just Settle. Once more and for the last time; Settle.

Okay days are Still more frequent; aren’t they? Sure.
