“Don’t patronize me, I am not to be easily underestimated.”
Don’t use taciturn strategy or calculated empathy
don’t stretch before or make a plan of attack
my words are not checkpoints along the way
my back is not your racetrack
my hair is not your starting flag
my legs are not your goal posts
I am not an opponent to defeat
or a time to beat
being with me is not a race
and my mattress is not the finish line.
