Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Running From the Stirrer

Here comes the company’s biggest stirrer.
I know she has something mean to say.
Maybe letting me know a horribleness
She has heard someone else say about me.

I leave my chair and run swiftly, not caring if she sees.
Let her think I am avoiding her.
For I am.
And plan to do so for the rest of her days here.

Shirley Hawkins May 22, 2022 at 6:22 PM I think that is the best approach. The last thing that people like her want is to be ignored. Take care. Shirley Caren Krutsinger May 23, 2022 at 2:06 AM I get up and move my feet so fast sometimes, I wonder how they never notice? But stirrers are busy thinking about their next "zing", their next "rumor" their next "bit of gossip"

Caren Krutsinger May 23, 2022 at 2:06 AM I have a motion I make with my hands like a witch stirring a cauldron. I do it often and my friends laugh, knowing what I am doing.
