Debate

It's guarded, my thoughts.
At least plural not a one
that laughs.
Shame it took so long -
hours between
the two, with boiling times two.
We know a lively, cowering soul
if we can only examine the
logic of those lines.
She talks plainly of much,
and suffrage, to vote, to squabble.

I on the back side, have
none of those quibbles -
at sound that is tense.
That's heated, known for
toe to toe slugs,
smash into me and the others,
gangs will follow,
get my back.
But for embracing the cunning few,
I would engage in backstabbing.

I took this and repeated
the error of standing so close -
she went and blasted the
ammunition.
And she was right to so plow
the paragraph -
so small on TV
Yet, past your bed, as
may happen, it's all we
will cover with this blanket,
before sleeping.
