bugger
perpetually negative
shouldering resentment like Atlas
beneath dignity
living misguided dreams
a closed heart and mind
whittled from belittling
scattering good intentions like gnats
pests subjected to torture
his plastic wrapper crinkling endlessly
bothered, eternally bothering
others
i have a word for you
antisocial
i have other words
not so kind
and advice, so hard to follow:
open up, accept, encourage
offer solutions, give hope
live fully
if you try it
it will save you
you fucking asshole |

target
my life is my own
and yet i am owned
i am held
at stop signs
and stopped
at borders
crossing checkpoints
finding i have
no ID
i am let go
but i’m marked
for censure |
