Random Interludes; The Arrogance of Man

A curtsy to the world as it tumbles about and I leap over the hurdles.
I sat with a stranger, words were broad and vague, hearing the message loud and clear.
Time has a way of spinning webs in your very heart but I have learned how to own my silk.
Riddle me this a man says to me and I tell him nursery rhymes are for simpler minds.
He asks for a cigarette and I oblige with a wink
but he is oblivious to the secret he just told me.
It's all in the eyes he says as he bends closer to me.
I smell his cologne.
Indeed, his game was written all over his face and drafted up my thigh.
I wonder if he knows the devil that lives inside of me.
Laughing, I remove his paw from my knee
and blow him a kiss before I walk away.
