    Insufferable Man

    Insufferable man!
    Man,
    who thinks himself a master in all subjects.

    Man,
    who thinks himself a guidebook for instructions
    and the most lawful beast in this animal land.

    Man,
    who thinks himself the ruler of this kingdom
    is mistaken.

    For he, who thinks himself godly,
    lives in a woman’s world.
    Wherever I sat - on the deck of a ship or at a street café in Paris or Bangkok - I would be sitting under the same glass bell jar, stewing in my own sour air.

    I like the flow of it and agree that the ending is perfect and kind of... surprising, in a good way. It kind of reminded me of feminists. It's wonderful read.

    Oh the ending! Something tells me I've read something like this before, but regardless, this is fresh and the turn at the end is ironic and sweet.
    Poets are always taking the weather so personally. They're always sticking their emotions in things that have no emotions.
