a better friend


flatter her?
  she’ll flatten you
sink her teeth
   right into you


prod and poke
   scratch and stab
in verbal joust
   you will be had


she’ll wear a mask
   to ward away
then bust your balls
  cos' you won’t stay


look straight through
   your crooked smile
and call you out
   like your on trial


don’t pin her down
   she can’t be still
she’ll slither
   out from under you


her shrewd advice
    she gives for free
will lead you
   clear calamity



for all her wisdom
   on her shelf
her only blind spot
   is herself


though some may warn
   “she’ll be your end”
you’d be pressed to find

   a better friend
