her flip side

if you don't come tomorrow
she says,
well then,
don't come at all and i'll find
someone else to
do the work.

she's harsh. mean.
a witch on a broom,
then slams the phone down.

in person though,
she's as sweet
as cotton candy,

as plump and friendly
as a fresh baked apple pie.
my oh my how people
fool you.
