a new cold war

she threatens
with a vow to never read
another word
of what you scribble
if you don't stop writing
about things she doesn't
care about.
she has become
the soviet union
of the cold war,
she is stalin with a wig.
khrushchev with a scowl,
not pleading for you
to obey, but ordering.
she begins to throw
bricks up between
you and her,
building a wall.
she slams her shoe
upon the desk and
says, i'll ignore you.
which is the worst
a reader such as her
can do. too bad.
