Comin' Through

Comin’ Through They stand there monuments to stupidity blocking progress, denying access or egress to the doorways corridors checkout lines coffee pots of life JUST STANDING THERE totally enamored of themselves - the urgency of their idle chit-chat. Suffering from auricular atrophy unable to hear anything but their own voices, immune to common courtesy looking at me as if “I HAVE A NERVE” disrupting their insensitivity by requesting “PERMISSION TO PASS THROUGH” this huddle of hubristic pomposity. They are masters of the “HARRUMPHHH” face a look designed to make the dog pee, the cat bristle and slink away, me know that I have offended the sensitivities of the insensitive ruffled the feathers of the featherless dared to insert a comma into their run on existence.
