Schemers

they schemed while sitting at the picnic bench
over lunch, eating some cottage cheese delicately balanced
on the container cover, an apple, one small cookie
as a reward for eating healthy, somehow missing
that hate is an unhealthy state on such a sunny day.
out on the picnic table,
two women spitting poison between them
rapid-fire, claws being sharpened on their
acid tongues, all while the unfortunate target
sits blissfully unaware in a sunny location
that fits her personality, oblivious to the 
winds of bitterness blowing across the land.
