anger

on the bus
you refused to let me pass

defiant
your face so full
your mouth biled up
rising, rising.

shouting.


stillness inside me.
present but not hurt.
i saw you.
i saw you did not see me.

every hurt and indignity suffered you blurred into me.

okay anger.
follow me out of this
man
into the cold

and
leave
him
be.
