Sisyphus' wife (Free verse) by Bankrupt_Word_Clerk You made it clear that
My ego is a donkey that is riding me
with feelings contaminated with
a tragic and swelling pride of
vision dimming to the point
I can't even see myself
through the layers of ego billowing
about me like pea soup fog in the Tule
basin north of Fresno.
and now
You stand there wishing that
I would color myself
disappeared, yet I remain
in front of you, gloriously
wide and grinning the toothy
grin of a man that is either
nauseous
or
unconscious
You dress yourself today in the victim's
jewelry peeking through your fingers to see
if I am tryingto guess which side
of the bitches brew you are on.
Up the ladder:
sea of pearls
Down the ladder:
The Cracks in my Wall

The first verse makes a clever point, but could do so in half the words. Lines 3-5 are almost repeats.
Verse 2 is good up to "tryingto" and "bitches (bitch's) brew"
bitches is the right word. More than one bitch in this brew. maybe bitches'?
In case you were wondering and couldn't be bothered to check Miles Davis called the famous recording sessions Bitches Brew without an apostrophe. I'd say bitches' brew if I were you.
That is precisely where I got those words... Miles Davis.
Yes. You still want the apostrophe after the s.

Thank you good sir. It does require an additional s.
