"you're stupid," she scoffs.

I look up from my pen and paper
and reply, "So sue me."

"If you paid attention to me like you do your **** writing we'd be alright," she sneers.

I pretend not to hear her.
I grab my coat and head out the door.
I can hear that
crazy woman calling
from down the street.
     I smile.
        Life sure is funny sometimes.
