Triple Dog

Ask me a question I know the answer to---

I dare you---

Ask me something wise and and scholarly and something that makes you out to be the academic that everyone believes you to be---

truly---

Ask me to tell you why you were the biggest disappointment---

I double dare you---

Ask me something worthy of my time and worthy of all the moments you robbed me of---

and then admit that you were the thief---

albeit intuitive

Pour me a glass of Bombay Sapphire and tell me once more that its contents were never quite as pretty as the blue in my eyes

I dare you, my once and former accomplice

Or---

just put your clothes back on

and walk on the coals with your feet of which you had the uttermost confidence

and all the while---

call this spade

a spade
