Did I offend you?
Sitting there
with my security uniform on
minding my business
but all you could see was
"LGBT"
on my chest.
So you had to remark....
"Everybody is gonna know
what you're all about"
Bro you were the only person
on that whole damn train
who was even caring
where I was working
or what I was wearing.
Why on Earth were you
so concerned
about me
when nobody else cared?
I was going to work
not hiding
not making a statement
just being.
Just going to work
was all I was doing
and it looks like I managed to offend you.
You kept staring
Stared at me the whole time
I was on that train
eyes burning into my forehead
even though I tried to ignore you
I tried to focus on
that tiny PS Vita screen
and you kept focusing
for some reason
on forcing yourself
into my world.

Miss Bangladesh.

You have always been there
mostly silent
sneaky
mysterious
in all your machinations.
I used to think women could better police the world
yet you've shown me
women can be just as
terrible
devious
and foul
as mankind.
You never came after me with brutality
you attacked my mind
for so long
it almost seems normal
how you bang on my walls
how you stomp on the floor
above my head
and I wonder if oneday
that damn ceiling will fall
I gotta get out of here woman.
Gotta get free of you
I only wish they'd installed those
video cams in the hall years ago
so they could see you
spitting on my door
sticking gum in my key hole
scratching my peephole
stuffing your
soiled panties in the dryer
with my clothes.
Your hatred for me must run so deep
when all I've ever done was try to defend myself
from your cruel actions.
This all started when I asked your little sister
to stop tearing paper up in the front yard
then you opened up a can of hell on my life
pure unrelenting hell
on a man who just tries to ignore you
trying to live his life.
Damn woman
if this is what you do to me
I ask what do you do to your true enemies?
Never in all my life
have I witnessed so much blind raging intense
hate
that never sleeps
until the day I moved into the apartment next door to
Miss Bangladesh.

She will hate me till the end of time
with all her might
even if it causes her
own destruction
even if it causes her to
look older everyday
dying inside
trying to fool everyone
with outside appearances.

The truth is
you're rotten to the core
and if it wasn't me
you woulda channeled onto someone else
(I'll bet you're shocked I'm still alive)
How many others have there been
Miss Bangladesh?

Better be careful
that cosmic justice
that divine retribution
its coming for you
Better get your soul right
before its too late
Miss Bangladesh

You achieved what no man ever has
you managed to become
my greatest nemesis
even while you were adding
fuel to my fire.

I can barely wait till the day comes
when I can move out of here
and never have to think about you (or your friends) again.
