Anger Is a Valid Emotion

But what a waste,
in general, don’t
you think?  I try.

To think.  But
today it hurts
a bit too much.

So what is there
to do on such an
unthinkable day

as today?  I flip
a switch and then
I flip another.  I

have a list, you
see?  “Things to
do when I am

down.”  I am
exhausted.  I
am amazed.

Sometimes a
bit of hate can
sharpen one’s

focus.  Most
times, however,
it doesn’t do but

just the opposite.
Down the list I
crawl, seething,

until I feel
once more
like breathing.
