An Arch Bitch

I review my ankles;
apparently I have very thin legs
I remember Ally and her first comment
but then she had thunder thighs.
Trouble was, I always took
things way too seriously
and her comments hurt.

She borrowed my denim jacket
and burnt a hole in the lapel;
She was 6 ft something
and couldn't do up the studs,
she had a way with studs.
My jacket is vintage
and it is still too big for me now.

Who said music students
had to be studious?
The boys played polterguist
from the house next door,
I kissed one, he had bristles
and thistles in his garden.

Ally condemed herself to the attic,
went out like a bat
we would hear her nocturnal joists,
a bitch in the first making
and a boyfriend who came from Canada
who she swore undying love
I guess we all had our thoughts
I just wonder what makes
an arch bitch?

I wonder, too. Was it her way with studs, or was that just another symptom? Thunder thighs could have been a factor.

What turns a woman in to an 'Arch Bitch , a man into a '' bartered '', or some in to bullys? Eniviromant , conditioning , experience in life of life? Or are some just born that way?
A good an interesting write.

I guess we all have a role to fill...some write poetry, others dysfunction in more more annoying ways ;-) It seems we all have a couple of "these" in the periphery from time to time. Maybe they're put there to keep us on our toes or as a reality check :-)
How fluently you turn the mundane in to poetry!
Thank you!
