Subterfuge
a connoisseur of
backhanded compliments
if you knew how her mind truly clicked
you'd take her brand of politeness
as an insult
48 laws of power
countless applications
you believe what you see
yet she never showed you a damned thing
using prejudices as your Achilles heel
she stirred you into a stew
you never knew was brewing
your undoing
she lowers
her presence for livestock only
spoon fed you flakes sugarcoated in sarcasm
inside your contaminated fishbowl
put your head on a swivel
watched your eyes dart..left..right
never centered
she saw how 'they' did it
followed the blueprint
took a peek down the yellow brick road
downloaded it for safekeeping
just in case she ever felt like being
the coldness of calculation
the local gentry never thought possible
...heh...
gotta love how she
works a room

This is why I'm a watcher from the corner vs an active participant. The view is much more enlightening outside the picture frame.
Well done, Naajir.

Laws of power, peeking down yellow brick road.
This almost sounds like a reference to authority and decision making.
Like a guided journey to the top.
Nice to read.

"Gotta love how she works a room..."

dearest Naajir this is one devilishly smart lady
calculating & smooth
your observations of her tell of a man
who doesn't miss a thing
she clearly doesn't fool you..
this part made me giggle :)
"...heh...
gotta love how she
works a room"
seems like you have a lady
who challenges & stirs your intellect..
awesome..
love Crim

Though not your intent, what you have
described here is a highly effective politician.
Loved the piece.

Being physcious, sarcastic, and the use of double entendres are elevated to an art form with some people. Don't enjoy the vindictiveness that may also be in play but have to anknowledge the skill.
