Going Back to Get Back
Registered with Bureau of Revenge
on a whim really.
Oh there were those to get back at.
But nothing Major League.
Save for the one flit who wheedled
the whole room to laughter at my
expense the once.
I tried to walk back his punishment,
but they wouldn’t change their mind.
Given a stammer.
Believe me, his future witticisms
would fall completely flat while
he forced words out!
At any rate, that was enough.
Too small of me, I felt, to go on
with other cases.
But. Not so fast. One against me.
Brought by Jennifer Darlington’s
Sister.
Hereinafter: JDS.
Who claims I met her shaking sister
in a hallway, and she shook so, I
wisecracked “Shall we dance?”
Weak! But it hurt her forever since
she had Muscular Dystrophy.
Who knew?
Now I offered to abjectly apologize!
Wouldn’t work. She’d feel I’d just
turn new words against her!
I’d write it then. Thoroughly heartfelt!
That’s the best way to lie, scoffed they.
Meantime, the computer had made
JDS into JEROME Darlington’s Sister.
All discussion ceased! He the meanest ever!
Sent away then, their wondering if I’d even get homel

Round of Layoffs
So he must beg to keep his job?
Abject humiliation!
Especially since he must beg you,
his sniveling inferior all these years!
I’ve not sniveled lo these many grimy
timeframes!
And when will you loosen the thumbscrews
on him? Just let him work?
Probably never.
You know? When I speak to someone
like you, I still remember there are
different, decent people in the world!
Where?

The Bends
-That’s it then! We’ve established
that you know everything.
-Slight exaggeration.
-So, how define Feminism?
-Living revengeful is the best well.
-I like conversing with you. Adds up
to nothing.
-Crazy Math is a motor, not a crutch.

Three Women
THE ONE THAT WENT ALL IN
Her chance at...!
Significantly younger he, but...!
Uh huh?
A danger he'd find someone fresher?
Ah but these seemingly mismatched
lovers really really discovered...! Not.
After the previous question answered
serially.
Back to the gang, slowwww to forgive.
And, of course, Steady Eddie, who
experimented with a bit of revenge,
but dropped it since the Giants were
on TV that afternoon.
THE ONE WHO STAYED
And stayed and stayed. Until HE left.
Quite the Catholic, but the Church
won't declare her a Martyr.
But she is, Academy Award!
THE ONE WHO FLED INTO ZERO ARMS
Had to escape to breathe!
It got too lonely, however.
So back to the bunch, and whatshisface.
Everyone feared his cruel streak would
come out in their frequent fights,
but he embarked on a Doctorate.

Action Figure
Cindy, In Short
“Well I STILL don't understand!”
They pity her then, this intellectual family she’s
somehow a part of.
There frequently follow wisecracks as to why Cindy
lost her husband.
Actually a man who then married a widow with five
potential delinquents. She phones him weekly and
it’s forever Bedlam.
She has revenge fantasies involving those around the
dinner table, never him.
The best: they're buried in a deep mine.
Her only friend proves Mrs Finnegan. She had hired her
as housekeeper, though the family can't remotely fathom
why Cindy doesn’t handle that too, as well as chef.
No complaints, ever, as to the food. Being graduate of
The Culinary Institute.
She always has Mrs Finnegan at Friday twilight for a
special desert and iced white wine.
This time they hear a washing rain outside, very nearly
drowning the voices from the mine for Cindy.
Who flaunts the Reisling.
Dr Loosen Kabinett Blue Slate 2014! you utter nincompoops!
Perhaps Mrs Finnegan heard the voices from the mine also.
She definitely heard something as they sipped. Something part
of the severe rain, or not.

"You! Of all...!"
So, she had it on him.
He toils; she snacks more than works.
In a year, he walks with the big guy.
She is let go. Part of a big purge.
She could still talk, but not so close.
The new girl minds her own stuff. That's all
there is to that. She won’t chub up.
The old one steps in front of a bus on her
way to her new job.
"Fate?" his deep side asks.
"Why not fat?" his joke one quips.

The History of Obsession---an insignificant fable
A strikes B in his vulnerable area, Pride.
A gloating, and B too downcast to play
retribution fantasies. Soon, however, he
starts assembling them.
They dominate for years. Opportunities
do occur, which he turns aside as trivial.
Finally, A killed by an old lady fresh from
passing her driver’s exam. He had been
crossing a rainy intersection towards
The Tuscany and dinner with his fiancé.
B happy enough, but fuddled. The gorge for revenge
still, strangely, rises.
The last of his friends leave. Too much anger
at imagined slights.
He plots against them, but, hardly the quality of
his Grand Obsession. Loses the thread.
