human resilience
and the fine art of
privacy
there is so much love gone wrong
on these trains
on these streets
on any given day of the week
there is a different drama being played out
some bad actor crying into her cell phone
some pouty boy shouting into his
so much love gone wrong
and played out in the public sphere
human resilience
and the fine art of privacy
being taken over by impulse and need
you see them screaming at stop lights
or shouting down the aisle in the grocery store
relationships ending between
the frozen foods and the processed meats
between tire rotations
or in line at the DMV
so many of us willing to bear ourselves
so nakedly out there
the thin line between cell phone love and hate
available for public consumption
as if we are the only ones within
one hundred miles of each other
creating and destroying
our own little universes
crowding out and contaminating
the one we’re leaving behind.
