Get(ting) Mad

a poem from "D'liberate Ramblings"

I get mad
When the scroll up screen
On the digital cable thing
Don’t list
What it says is supposed to be on
And I get mad
When the last kool-aid
I made
And I didn’t get a sip
Or just enough
To wet my lips
Yes
I get mad
When you wake me up
In the middle of sleep
To see
If I’m awake
It
Irritates
My bowels
And I get mad
And want to scream out loud
When you snore
More
Than the law
Or any worldly thing
Should resonate
But I fixate
On what life would be
Without you here
Always
Imperfectly
And then
I really get mad
