Tremor
It must be, ever, "so and so,"
just as she deems it: apropos.
Timing off? There went your day.
Truant? You'll wish you're away.
Offset three degrees: a glare.
Off by seven? Prep for prayer.
Ignore, no more ingenue.
Misconstrue? Vocal kung fu.
Neglect? Face a night of wrath.
Refuse? Assume her aftermath.
Misremember? Long recall
the ruin of her wrecking ball.
But spot her slipping? Big mistake.
Breathe "hypocrite": the Earth will quake!
