etc....

i hate to admit it,
having been raised a good catholic
boy,
but i don't like
people anymore.
not all people. but strangers
mostly.
i have a few select friends
and relatives.
but in general, people are
getting on my nerves.
so much anger
and boorish behavior.
rudeness, discourtesy, (which i guess
is the same thing)
but in general bad manners
all around.
everyone in a rush,
everyone on their phones
or flossing their teeth in public.
narcissism run amok.
me me me.
etc.
i say etc. when i run out
of things to write.
etc.

The strangers are the ones you
long to touch. At moments
when you are on vacation, in another city
alone. There your busy life
is on hold and time
suspended, a moment that is not crowded
out by your life and all its pressing details
that no longer matter.
