Scorpion Stings Again…
You never should’ve stood brazen, laughing
through a sliver of glass at my door.
Your imagination got the best of you
harassing me from behind a door.
Conspirator or creator of a name
for a space you spied me exit.
Did you wish it was you I was with?
Brought your cultural misogyny
to your new position.
Every misogynist will have their day
in this millennium.
I laugh too, holding the door
to your involuntary exit.

I’m intrigued by the poem’s spiteful tone. Does the scorpion of the title refer to the speaker or the misogynist auditor?
The speaker, she identifies as a threat. Her pronouns are try/me.
