Watch Me

Someone told me that the word "sarcasm"
means to "tear at the flesh."

Almost accepted that definition, at first.
How easy it is to believe your callous sarcasm 
might leave my soul intact, even untouched.

But I dare you to pry open this oyster.
For within the shell lies muscle,
and even a heart that many say is a pearl.

Watch me as I stand straight up.
And stride right past you.

Watch me as I walk on by.
