the kindness of fists

believe me! i tell you i have
only best intentions.

but the results are killing me.
are there any other choices?
those with means see meanness,
complacency that deserves no pity

ask me to the hot show
you can't understand
my antipathy, you think
i am maladjusted. de-looped.

this isn't so. there is
more at play than you know.

but what choice is there for
an average fellow?
just to shake and stir in
locked closets. to endure
accusations, a-poetic arrows.

nope. better beaten by knuckles
than dithered among soft,
mediocre pacifists.
