One of many names
many faces
a seven foot
goddess
of night
and
nightmares
whose
sideways stare
sends little boys scurrying
for cover
She drank
her midnight
coffee
with a spirit
named George
and
summoned books off the shelf
to smack her
smartmouthing
soul-less sister
upside the head
as a wee one
she was the one
the only one
who could bend the will
of even the most wicked
one of all
the one who
served you the crisp cold
water
from the toilet
and told you
to swallow it
(and you did)
As a baby, she ran for president
and when contested
she represented herself at the Supreme Court
and won
A veritable blue crystal
queen of sheeba
sheebebeebee
but as far as I know
she
will always be
Bleep

She’d’ve loved it.
