Even My Wrath I Love

2014

jp melville

I am conflict adverse.

I am weak willed.

I talk the talk.

I am all about the spin.

I show no willingness to talk.

I make work the centre of my life.

I make time management the focus.

I have a hand in with lawyers.

I prefer avoidance.

I cannot face the week’s matters at hand.

I am an ostrich with my head in the sand.
I put my children first.

You I treat as second class.

You I fail to support in the minds of others.

You I disrespect and the value of your work.

You I remove from the centre.

You I place as an obscure player.

You I objectify.

You I threaten with writing.

Even my wrath I love.

"Now, make me a priority," she demands.
