The Storyteller - Two
Cheerfully I say,
"good morning sweetie!"
A raised hand and stern look her reaction
Am I too needy
expecting similar salutation?
That’s it she hates my guts.
I’m an annoyance, you see?
A washed up, long worthless pawn
whom she wishes was just gone
Losers don’t merit such lively greetings.
What’s this? She’s now texting me,
“Sorry babe, I was in a Zoom meeting.”
Presenting the crowned King of assumption.
Transformer of facts into fables.
Dread Sovereign of split-second presumption.
Exceptional turner of tables
Sit a spell, stretch your imaginations
While I regale you with fantastical tales
of supposed slights
and ostensible denigration's.

Author's Note
It amazes me the stories I can conjure and rarely are they true. I take pride in understanding people so it's a real blow when I get it wrong.
