Martin O'Neill - Well?

My mind squats
Inscrutable
A Japanese Toad.
Ugly, immovable, obstinate.
Narrow eyes,
Eyeing me,
Daring me
To challenge.
Fight and whine and
Cry-baby complain,
'Not fair! '
No, I am bigger,
Dignified and
Patient.
The poetry,
Will return.
Violence
Remains
An option.

Martin O'Neill
