Destruction

I loved it,that red hat
So bright and pretty
And fun, just different.
It was cool, and fine,
And all mine.
I saw you look at it
With that slyness
And knew without
A shadow of a doubt
That you were going to take it
And wreck it.
Between the yelling,
And the stylized moves,
You lunge, I step nimbly away
Soon it was obvious you would
Get the hat,
And tear it into a million little bits.
I decided in a primal place
To beat you to the punch.
The hat was tossed to the floor,
And stomped flat.
It was worth it, nearly
To see the shock on your face.
And later, telling my friend,
She asked why, and all I could
Say was
You don't understand! There it was!
Looking so damned RED!
And we laughed,
Until it hurt,
And then we laughed,
Until it didn't hurt.
