Calypso: we all know Her


we have all seen Her

and rolled our eyes. 
 

why 

is She mooning after a boy 

who doesn't care? 
 

She is beautiful 

but trapped in this 

"boy crazed" mentality 

 

instead of trapped on Ogygia 

She's trapped by her 

unfortunate (to say the least) 

love sickness

 

not "cursed by the gods" 

but by Her feelings 

 

we all know Her 

a real life Calypso  

 

just look around and you'll see Her 

but maybe don't roll

your eyes
