an unthinkable man

thinks himself into a state of rage

terrifies the ones who worship him

small excuses to rage at them

socks on the floor

2 mins to long to brush his teeth

or asking me to talk to her

and I don't know why,

can't really think of anything they have done

Still

I inject this terror into their lives

send them shivering to their rooms

wallow in my anger

a satisfaction I'll regret

as I watch the tears wash over them
