Angel with a Punch
I met a counter-punching angel.
She didn't strike with fists and kicks.
Glances delivered her rebukes.
So too did words full of biting angel wit.
Her effect on her targets is conclusive.
I myself felt like giving up on petty
pretense and posing pride, and at
that instant the angel's smile spread wide.
