A Million Ways to Be Cruel

Sit back, matter of fact,
teasing, toying, turning, chatting,
charming, hissing, playing the crowd.

Play that song again.
Another couple Klonopin.
A nod, a glance, a halfhearted bow.

Oh such grace, oh such beauty
And lipstick and callous and fishnets and malice.
Oh darlin', you're a million ways to be cruel.

I should, I wish I could.
Maybe if you were I would.
A list of standard issue regrets.

One last 80 proof
Slouching in the corner booth.
Baby it's as good as it gets.

Oh such grace, oh such beauty
So precious, suspicious, and charming, and vicious.
Oh darlin', you're a million ways
Oh darlin', you're a million ways to be cruel
