lessons in show-off despair

man don't put a woman out there on the marking
or pretend it's piping hot broth from your ladle/
have her suffer from your own envy
man don't blow on her until she's cold
or let her take on the heat from plot and trial/
have her dance solo and burn
don't hide behind the other don't shift the weight
don't slosh the soup
don't steal the soul don't art it up
don't make your own marking and let her fall
in your stead.
