Cunt

Her post-operative
mood swings
kept taking
their toll
on me.
Finally
I couldn’t
deal with
them
any longer
and exploded,
anger boiling
out of me
like white hot
phosphorus.
Even though
my face
must have
looked like
the Mask
of Evil,
her doll-
black eyes
didn’t register
the slightest
concern.
Fuming,
I blurted out:
“Just because
you’ve got
a pussy now
doesn’t mean
you should act
like a fucking cunt.
