The Poetry of Primadonna Angela

Primadonna Angela


Cockroaches

Shame on me!
I see two cockroaches
having a rendezvous
in my kitchen
Shame on me 'cause
I'm paralyzed to the bone
I yield to their power
of atrocity
Mesmerized, speechless
I wait and wait
Shrugging, I left
I'll wash my hand
some other time.
