No one listens to me.
She would never obey.
I know I have no charisma. But
do what I say.
In person, I’m not charming.
She didn’t show up today.
I put her betrayals in a poem:
Do what I say.
What I said she will now have to say
As she reads, silently, the poem.
This is an author speaking his play.
Internalize my lines. Read me.
Do what I say.
