Denying aggression
but you must be numb yourself
if you can't feel the
sharpness of
your words' blade;
"Please"
just as I'm walking,
and don't forget I said
"Alright, hold on"
and
"I'm coming."
If there's any utterance
of "please" needed, it's
"Please shut up already."
Just let me go
about the process,
although
I'm not fast enough for you
despite power-walking
and stalling
just to stop you
from hurling yourself at me
one more time
or more.
