What a Thing to Say

“You are a disappointment to me.”

I remember where I was when you said it
Just at the gate to the path connecting Sunshine and Emerson Lake
I remember where I was

“You are a disappointment to me.” 
(What a thing to say to someone)
I wasn’t one of your ‘wise women’
(The audacity)
I didn’t fit the skin you were trying to put me in
I didn’t belong in your club

I’m glad
Your loss
Your club was too small 
For me
