flippant

the riposte my dispatch
my armor a flippant rejoinder
my pen not sword but poniard
and so wield my words with care 
and I parry and thrust precisely
ducking and darting
from the pikes and broadswords
hoping I'm fleeter of foot
than those who would cut me
with the long reach of their catty criticism
