A bullet so small and strong struck right where my lungs met. Embedded itself this insult of occult fake tidings riding on elitist snobby attitudes. A bullet or was it an insult? Either way, I am plummeting towards humiliation street with my tail between my legs. A bullet was that woman's sharp words cutting through my skin like a paper cut gone berserk. She was a joplin spider stuck in a ditch and I should have smashed her spindly weak legged body under my heavy black boots creating an ugly stain that looks like gunpowder or left over oil spilled over with the utmost disrespect.
