Releasing —
Rage lingers within
someone is being unnecessarily wounded.
That rage comes up for air.
If suppressed it expands
getting out of control.
A crotchety man mumbling about having to wait in line.
That blonde bitch, he blurts out.
But its not her fault.
She was just trying to use a gift card.
Cash machine malfunctioned.
Jerk.
I want to kick his ass.
But I stand down.
It’s not worth my time.
Don’t know the backstory
But there is always one or two or many.
I let it go.
