Another Me

Another me visited again this morning,
some are welcome friends, some not; but this one
                          unfamiliar;
                            testy, touchy.

Must be careful, take care, angry ones are stronger,
seeking domination of the others.
Now people, familiar strangers; don't look!
Too late; inevitably, staring eyes meet eyes.

        The words spew out, red hot rivets
        "Are you gawking at me, you jerk?"

                          Blood on my hands,
                            pain in my head.
