She was like asbestos; <br />Sure, she was fireproof, but she took my breath away. <br />I had to limit my exposure. <br /> <br />She was like asbestos; <br />Possibly helpful, but potentially hazardous. <br />I should have contacted OSHA. <br /> <br />She was like asbestos; <br />Protecting me in one way, but hurting me in another. <br />I had my own decontamination area. <br /> <br />She was like asbestos, <br />But warning labels couldn’t keep me away; <br />Protective clothing couldn’t keep us apart……….. <br /> <br />She was like asbestos. <br /> <br />(2010-Bolingbrook, IL)<br /><br />Mark Money<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/she-was-like-asbestos/
