Drama Queens Are Everywhere

See that woman in a leaky skiff 


holding a bucket with a hole,


yelling, “Help!,” not acknowledging


 that she is in shallow water 


near the shore,  that she knows how to swim,


and that she considers her fate  


more operatic than silly, 


and ask yourself, this question:  


​Why does she look so familiar?
