Just Shooting The Bird

By joyismine

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I think it sort of funny, but also very sad, that it takes so very little to get some folks really mad. If they drive along beside you, and you look them in the eye, they take instant exception, and ram their car in high. We were sitting in a parking lot, without a hint of care, when the 'Pizza Delivery' man flew past, middle finger in the air. A couple's car had broken down along the I 10 freeway, A good Samaritan stopped to help them on their way; They killed the good Samaritan and took his car away, shook their middle finger at the law, and went merrily about their day. I find it so ironic that the Phoenix is a bird, and in the town of Phoenix the bird is often the last word. Rage is just a symptom of something foul inside when a person boils with anger that they can no longer hide. These angry folks should listen while I give them all the scoop; Behind every nasty dirty bird is a nasty pile of poop! Joyce GuyHow indigmant is the shooting of the bird...
