You & Your Look Alike

Also entitled: Queen of Dreams
Dedicated to: BT


Me you him & her
sitting around a table
looking like those dogs playing cards 

me looking at you in disgust
trying to understand why they're here 
and why we're ALL together 

you keep grinning & patting my damn arm
her eyes are so glazed all she can see is him
And he tries to act as if he's not glaring at my soul 

the scene switches and it's me
the queen of the court 
you, my king, and she, the lowly handmaid 

I laugh as I snap for her to bring me
the silver platter off to the side
you grab my hand as if to caution what's hidden underneath

i stopped listening to you long ago 
so I hear none of what you have to say
she brings the platter, with her annoying smile

I make her stand there holding the heavy platter for a while,
you continue to tell me i may not want to see this sight 

Open it!
shocked as I am
I never remember ordering an "off with his head!"
