the new rude

it's a new breed of rude.
no need
in saying hello
when passing by, or holding
a door.
letting someone
out before one goes in.
no need to signal
your turn,
or show kindness by
letting someone pass
before you.
it's okay to yell in
a crowded room and to
ignore,
stay on your phone,
staring deep into
its dark abyss as you cross
the road.
a thank you goes unsaid
these days,
for anything bought
in any store.
