Nancy Jones Poet Free verse

Righteous Indignation

(aka Reasons for Resentment)

You asked me to do something.
I did it and you didn't 
thank me.

You told me the meeting would be
at this time at this place.
It wasn't.

You said you'd call back
but the phone never rang.

You forgot to pick up
toilet paper and baby food.

You asked me to do something.
I forgot and you
resented but said nothing.

You told me the meeting would be
at this time at this place.
I forgot.

You said you'd call back
but the (uncharged) phone never rang.

You forgot to pick up
toilet paper and baby food.

Dang...
am runnin' outa reasons.....
