An encounter with ill manners

How quick it all changes

The world turns, the worm turns

A single word and the whole pail’s curdled

Human kindness clags to quasi cheese

You wheezing disease of a being

You can be counted upon only to offend

You give temper many pleasant, jury-agreeing reasons

You rile me as none have done recently since I took to the wilds

Your rudeness and tactlessness

When aimed to others I counted as a regrettable

But overlookable aspect

Yet, when that curtness of churlish manner took aim at me

A day had not passed before you were gone

One evening of a planned five, you are leaving here now for the last time

If the skies will fit skin to my rhymes.

I had to be held back, I had to shower off my rage.
