the pompous one
with her comments
as she slithers by
with
the rudest
of dogs
the confident family;
confident
to a fault
sitting too close
and talking
too loud
the hypocrite
complaining
of the mess
and leaving behind
a scavenger's
detritus
the insecure sage
a font of knowledge
based on
hearsay
and opinion
with only
a pinch
of fact
the innocently gormless
with no thought
for sense
or logic
common or otherwise
but only
for the now
and
the immediate
these are
the passengers
on the
carousel
of frustrations
for today;
replayed
rephrased
resurrected
over
and over
i think
so little
of them
yet
i'm unable
to stop myself
thinking
about them
