conversation #9

misanthropy is an art

the school hallway tiles listen
better than a therapist's couch
I'm forever talking to myself
"Goddamnit, where did I leave... car keys?"

the people I tell off in my head
are always charming conversationalists,
mouths unhinged in rebuttal to my
stinging insults
two weeks too late

sometimes I sing them
a swan song
to break the monotony

I swallow bitterness always
with water from a fountain
