Cold Miss Calculation

Matthew Zagorski 1986 (NY)



What a lovely example and wonderful sample of beauty and brains all in one.
She always maintained her solid straight A’s And always won million to one.

When things weren’t her way she knew just what to say to assure that her pathway was clear.
To keep her so cautious from cautious precautions, a filter filtrates what she hears.

And she’ll play it all back and throw constant attacks with the tone of a quiet aggression.
There’s a look on her face like you don’t have a place, but there’s always the time for a lesson.

Through passive aggression she teaches her lesson the best way that she knows how to do. Plus the kids want a place to just talk out their issues, but she’s way too caught up in her views.

But her views just confuse all the positive news that could come from the story instead. She just sits on her phone and she looks down her nose with eyebrows at the top of her head.

In different directions she views from perceptions of what somebody else might have thought.
Without even thinking of what they were feeling while spilling their hearts on the spot.

Use a fathers aggression to teach them a lesson or hear what is wrong about you.
Refuse and you lose cause she’ll talk about you to all of the people you knew.

You can’t tell your side cause it won’t make a difference, but reflection is ultimate proof.
Plus the fools that will listen will see what she’s missing so pudding will come with the proof.
