[to bullies, past, present and future]
(for Valerie Macon, my fine example)
hey, y'all I'm not the pinata at the Party
so back off, would you? could you
should you
find that the party's not what you had in mind,
there's always strawberry ice cream after
in your own kitchen with the blinds down
I say to myself without rancor.
meanwhile, y'all
there's not that much candy left in here
it's getting dark. and
you should understand that
it's not cool when you're Raggedy Ann
and they keep beating your candy heart
thinking it's their own drum.

P.S. Raggedy Ann writes exquisitely good unraggedy poetry.
