I’m not needing your approval of me
nods of agreement for my decisions
my chili pepper choices of
spicy dicey checks and balances
they always mellow in the swallow
I cast the die
already knowing the number it will show
snake eyes after the shake and throw
I knew the serpent
would be ready to strike
judge and jury never called to duty
sitting on high calling me into question
but my question mark was never
typeset in this quandary
so why should you illustrate your own
in its place
?
