Unavoidable Enemy


You’re my kryptonite, 

the cross I have to bear.

Unlike Jesus, however, I’m not strong enough to carry you. 

I would rather brave an Alaskan winter

with nothing but a pair of hand-me-down shorts,

than wear you on a singular, hot summer day.

I would suffocate 

before melting into a boiling puddle.

One day though, the time will come when I must wear you.

Like a patient assassin, you sit in my closet, 

waiting to strangle me when the time is ripe.

For when my supply of shorts depletes

you will strike.
