False Anger

I am still angry at Katie M. for writing such a great bit of poetry:

I met a man twice my age
Half joking, he said โ€˜I should warn you.
Youโ€™re a fish on the line, and the lines pulling in, and thereโ€™s a frying pan coming to warm youโ€™.
And while I smiled, it occurred to me
Iโ€™m just gristle and blood
And Iโ€™ve spent half my life with the sun in my eyes
Chasing rainbows through the mud

OK, I am not mad at her. Who could be mad at Kate? I just wish Iโ€™d written it. I like her brain. I like it a lot.
