How We View Others: 3 of 4

gorgous girl, across the street
try so hard her eyes to meet
bump into stranger, look a fool
she just laughs, life’s so cruel
feel the anger rising. so lash out
prostrate figure at who you shout
are you stupid? out of your mind?
didn’t you see me? are you blind?
a contemptuous laugh, for a sorry sight
until you notice the cane of white

    Oh I began to laugh and then you hit me with a white stick, very strong writing, should get used to your endings by now x

  • Thanks, isn’t that how life treats us – hitting us with a stick when we least expect it :)
