I'Ve Been There

Right now
     this very second
          the baby in the backseat
     won't stop crying.
Everyone else
     tries to comfort it
          but the soon give up
     and instead complain.
     
     I don't.
                  I've been there.

Right now
     this very second
          the company computer has crashed
     losing hundreds of files.
Everyone else
     tries to recover them
          but they can't
     and they stress out.
 
     I don't.
                  I've been there.

Right now
     this very second
          the drunk at the bar
     is being very loud.
Everyone else
     is complaining
          saying that he's a stain on society
     and should be thrown out.

     I don't.
                  I've been there.
