A Strong Man’s Woman

I am bent a bit tart, favor sweet.

Like the dirty part of neat.

I am a one-man woman, one woman show.

The first you’ll believe, the last you’ll know.

The heretic with good hair.

The misanthrope heir.

The poetic prophetic prose.

Who writes with her fingers and toes.

The MSish minion

Flaunting a firm opinion.

Diseased diatribe -

My best vibe.

The flattest side of round.

Voice that never makes a sound.

Strongest when the weakest.

Loudest at the meekest.

Though I understand easily.

I am not easily understood.

I am a strong man’s woman.

A strong woman, man.
