Her favorite film was ‘Out of Africa’.
Oh?
I had misunderstood her
Her caustic manner
Her cantankerous demeanor
She had frightened me
Once.
But those three words changed all that
Insane Jane was misunderstood
Oh she was still a bitch
I couldn’t escape that fact
But one whose appreciation of subtle longing, a need for belonging
Meant she must be more than just snarl and gnarl
More than the angry sighs her tapping hands evoked
More than an office joke.
There was a pearl in there somewhere
Inside that shell
Within the creature who gave us hell.
