Chivalry is Dead.

Chivalry is Dead.

or so she said,

Each and every her who:

Thrusts that lance,

gives that look, which

pierces even my armor.

 

I am a Knight, of sweet

Of “Nice”

I am Just

not good,

enough.

 

Armored in dead, smiling fish

that stink of rotting morals

and whose scales,

whose scales have lost

their luster, their luck.

 

I should be so lucky as to find

One Girl

Who finds me,

Finds my fishy armor:

enchanting.

 

The last green scale glints

Opaque, as her eyes may.
