Envious Transgression

That which Boils Toils

the product of my affection

May I make an interjection,

      I may be at a spike,

my mind may be filled with spite,

       and that's right, I am more than probably,

       more than likely

       overly hormonally irrationally irate.

Instigated, mind you, by your subterfuge,

       incessant, noncovalent, depressant,

actions of will will make me seethe.

For my seething wreathing rampage feels so good.

Too good,

ice that cascades down your back on a stark hot summer day    

The ice, tiny razors cutting tracks down your back.

Racing beads toward the finish line.

And it feels sublime

The pain of the chill counters the pain of the heat.

And that's how I feel when we meet

at that place where I become a monster.

My chill blown westward

counters the visceral heat in my breast.

That heat that makes me want to beat sticks and drums

and call in my army

It alarms me

That's why I whisper

And shy away

And sulk, because the Hulk is who I'm keeping at bay

My enemy is not the one with eyes searching for me,

but my Jealousy who is at war within me.
