Popularity

  
A caution duly noted,
“those words will not increase
your popularity.”

My response: screw popularity
I’ll say what’s right
and damn the consequences!

And when you’ve exhausted
everyone’s good will?
Then what?

I’ll create imaginary
friends and we’ll dance
and sing and exchange witty barbs.

But won’t you be lonely,
woman? Sitting by
yourself, whistling in the wind?

I’d rather be lonely
surrounded by truth than cradled
by those who spout lies.

  
peace, people!
