Don't Come Looking for Respect

Rhetorical is the question - may you
Enter? - Why of course. Not. You’re
Standing at the front door like a
Pompous ass- has it been that long?
Even the neighbor’s dogs remember how
Callous you are. What? No respect?
Truth is, you’ll never earn it from me.

At Last

Running amuck at last
Early adulthood freedom rendered  
Sophomoric attitude impacting
Pollyanna-like naivete; results--
Ejected lovers amassing piles of shit
Counterproductive, rancid rapscallion
Tethered; maturity at last

Prompt inspirations: 3WW (eject, impact, render), Real Toads (use the #1 song from the day you were born as the inspiration to write about your life... mine: Respect by Aretha Franklin)
