Ruined
Someone can ruin your life like thick, chewed gum.
The snaps and stalls started.
Until the people around me just, blundered against me.
Not once but all around me like speakers placed strategically.
Call me.
I’m caffeine.
I’m lunch at 10:30 am.
The thick, chewed gum lingers.
Exasperated.
As the car headlights seem to cry too.
Someone can ruin your life with patterns, gum, and railroad crossings too.
