Ways of Living Vii
rather than be seen as
“the type that gets angry,”
as “the type that loses
his/her cool,” as “the
misanthrope,” “the
psychotic,” “the
miserable *****,” “the
old bitter ****,” “the
lonely ol’ shrew,” or
“the colossal prick,”
s/he finds that the only
way to face anyone in
public is to act in complete
contradiction concerning
the real feelings exploding
inside him/her & though this
strategy can keep him/her
in check & keep those
around them from taking
offense or from acting
accordingly, as one might
after being assaulted by
this person’s actual feelings,
there is no doubt that said
individual is a walking
time bomb &
it’s only a matter of time.
