You may hate me today
but that won’t last
because you are stupid and lame
and your opinions are as flaky
as your pizza crust
which, I would be remiss in reminding you
is not supposed to be flaky
– ever.

You permit almost everything
which is why
it is so easy
to abuse you
even when that’s not what I want.
You invite humiliation
as evidenced by how often
it arrives at your door.

It is possible
that your incredible gullibility
will afford forgiveness
for even my most recent affronts.
Honestly,
I’m not too sure.
Your dumb Jesus
would encourage what I’ve done
so why wouldn’t you
even after you find out
exactly what I’ve done to your beta fish.

We’ll have to see
together
after I’ve added
to the load you carry
just a few extra straws.
