Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Random Beauty Shop Thoughts

What if the strange woman walks in here and slaps me?
I am sitting in the beauty shop, being crazy.
We have never met.
She is walking in now, directly in front of me.
Less than eight feet away.

What if she reaches down and bam!
Slaps me across the nose,
Tweaks my throbbing nose,
cuts my throat?

She is closer now, walking right toward me.
She kind of looks like a slapper.
Do I duck, flinch, or just stop being silly?

Mahtab Bangalee February 24, 2019 at 12:58 AM it's interesting; leave this situation normally...../// Caren Krutsinger February 24, 2019 at 9:33 AM I have to just throw thoughts down sometimes, especially when I am BORED waiting for a haircut. This was yesterday. I penned fifteen poems in thirty minutes.

Swetha Vangaveti February 23, 2019 at 10:06 PM Do I take this just as a LOL poem or do I take it as a representation of social anxiety ? Or do I just stop thinking silly? One short poem, too many facets :D Caren Krutsinger February 24, 2019 at 9:33 AM Laugh Out Loud, and social anxiety, and stop being silly are all the correct answers in the order I was hoping for.
