I hate you like hangnails hate being ripped from my nail beds
I hate your sly grin, faux tan leather skin,
Thick, opaque and abrasive:
Just like you.

I hate the way your blood boils at 98.6 degrees fahrenheit when your heart remains a cold dungeon.
I hate your hurricane eyes that were once peaceful oceans. 
I hate you like hockey goalies hate the puck that sneaks through their gloves
I hate you like octopus hate the cold ice as it hits their flesh
I hate you like opposing teams despise each other
I also hate hockey, so thanks for that too.
I also hate Michigan,
Or any state you remain in.
