All Too Common

a muggy night
scent of sweat
stultifying

she clamors
head in hands
of fools and attitudes

always

her discomfort sets the mood
poor susceptible
princess pea

seems all the world's
a briar patch
and she
with no shoes

Can feel the irony in this one.

seems all the world's
a briar patch
and she
with no shoes

what a great stanza. No hidden meaning here just a clear shot in the face of a hard to plow road. I really enjoyed it.
