Judged
What did you mean by that?
When she asks, I feel like a mouse
about to be pounced on by a cat.
What did you mean by that?
I know she’s the judge and jury
who already decided what she infers
is rude, wrong, hurtful or stupid.
She’s about to condemn not just
what I said but my very being.
I have to choose my words carefully
or the gavel will come down, “Guilty!”
