sticks and stones

it was easier
when in grade school to insult
your
childhood
colleagues
that you disagreed
with or didn't like.
you called each other names
on the playground,
like fatso,
stupid,
butthead, or skinny minnie,
but truthfully
not much has changed.
now instead of saying
we don't like
you, or that i beg to differ,
we call each other names
like Hitler or
Mussolini,
or Pol Pot, or Hanoi Jane.
