Ever let a comment hang?
Words can shimmer
or drip
Slip
Slip
Slipping
They have a life of their own
Leave them alone
It’s quite delicious
Some arseholes attempt at a sarcastic jibe
It is supposed to puncture
and injure your side
Yet it can’t
You are impervious
until you react
for it is in the reaction that you open
like a gate
drawn up
careful!
But what if you don’t
say a word
leave the gate
closed
Just let them hang
there outside
and dangle
and tangle
in their own
supercilious
punctilious
homogapeous
(yes I made that up but its appropriate)
(if you know what it means)
(which I do because I made it up π
words
their little
fucked up
mess of their own declaratory
defamatory
defecating
pontificating
whatever the point their mish mash
making
Words
Watch them become an echo
a shout
calling out
to them
and the world
that they might not be quite so bright as they thought they were
in fact
In a while
They’re completely futile
And
it’s all a little bit awkward
embarrassing
Ho hum
Sigh
Time goes by
And now your soft heart is tugged
the coals of your anger have long turned cold
after all we are all growing old
though some none the wiser
so
you carefully pick up a mouse
and right click
or give the conversation the flick
kill the words
Do it nicely
Humanely
Kindly
Put them out of their misery
delete their pissy hiss hisssssery
and don’t think about them
Anymore
The photo is from a motorbike trip – it is taken somewhere between Longreach and Winton where we (my brother and I) stopped to have a drink. At the time the country out there was in a drought – the landscape looked like a dead animal and there were in fact many dead animals, wild and rural livestock along the way – hence it is rather fitting for a post about putting things out of their misery.
Awesome pic. Rocking verse
Thanks Yassy – sorry for the late reply missed this comment so a nice surprise now ππ
Keep writing. Love your posts
Stopping is the hard thing Yassy – my brain is chattering like a bird I can’t shut up π€π³π
Am all ears. Keep at it. I am like that too. Super charged you.
Yep best natural high besides riding – which I’m doing all weekend and early next week – except I’ll be pulling in madly to scribble ππ
Yay. Way to go. Have fun. Take care too.
Always take care in my pocket – it’s handy to keep around π
