I come to the fourth step
mad at the world,
angry at everybody
and everything.
I listed those people
who'd wronged me,
snubbed me, peeved me.
I scribbled what they'd done,
irked to be told to keep it short.
I figured out just how it hurt,
then that fourth column…
What do you mean, my part?
But then I started writing
about what I might have had in it
and by the time I finished,
the anger had drained away
and I'd wronged a whole bunch
of folks.
