Poetry: Limits

by Heidi Delane

Created on: April 22, 2008

I recently located my limit
(Although some would just call it Kismet)
Directly beneath a glass ceiling
Imposed by a self-righteous being
Who's name shall never be spoken
Lest his pact with the Devil be broken
My limit should involve a lawsuit
Instead was a Big n Tall Blue Suit
Rumpled from high blood pressure pulsing
Beneath his huge gut (repulsing!)
My limit has found eager freedom
From the Big and Tall blue suited kingdom
And so now in pajamas I work
Drinking coffee and muttering "jerk"
As I rip open a big fat paycheck
Not feeling that throbbing in my neck
And grateful for a newly minted life
Free from the twisting back-knife
My new limit is far in the distance
It's my life, now I'm gonna dance!
