the nincompoop

my nosy
friend, Jimmy, asks me when
was the last time
i saw Cruella.
i look at him and shake
my head.
why, why on God's good
earth
would i want
to see that nincompoop?
nincompoop?
he says, laughing.
i haven't heard that word
since
1970.
you've softened up when
you use
words to describe her,
haven't you?
