dusk arising

the polemical poet



you had to see it
to believe it
she said she didn\'t
enjoy argument
but argued
with three people
for four hours
asked to accept
to differ respecting
that everyone
was entitled to
their own opinion
she agreed then
went on to
criticise everyone
else\'s opinions
accusing them of
having negative
thoughts about
particular subjects
which had not even
been discussed
insisted that her way
was the only way
you had to see it
to believe it

I know two others
who saw it
and i bet
they don\'t believe it
