RECOMMENDATION

try not
to react.

if they
cut you off
in traffic

realize
there is a
reason.

a bad
marriage.
a fight with a boss
or a coworker
murder in the family
unbridled anger
at slight
tragedy.

never react.
hold back.

never
allow the
grand total
of nothing
to win.

I am
having trouble|
with it myself.
each trespass is
a shockwave.
a deep cut
and personal
insult.

it is
time to stop
driving but that will not
extinguish the
slow burn.

they are
murdering children
with million ton bombs
on the other side
of the world.

fire decimates
innocence.

a totality
of blindness
and deafness
and complete stupidity
may be
the answer.

may I work
in that direction.
