Don't Hit People

Karyn Indursky

 

Don't hit people
as though they're
your punching bags
to take whatever
you choose to
distribute upon them
every time you
have rotten days
or rejected proposals
or whatever excuse
you label this
mistake, accident, punishment
with to ease
your drawn suspicion
from hospital bills
along with reports
filed many times
after visual observations
easily seen by
naked eyes knowing
what leaves scars
inwardly and out.
