much better

you've gone over an hour
without being angry
at someone or something.
the traffic, the weather.
the news, the neighbor.
something.
okay, not angry, but perhaps
annoyed, dismayed,
disgruntled. you turn off
the t.v., that seems to
help. the computer goes
off next.  then you pull
the shades. you climb
into bed and put a pillow
over your head.
better. much better.
