Bam! Bam!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s the trouble with life,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

everyone has their reasons.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Jean Renoir<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you see where the little wars begin? <\/span><\/p>\n

How in love you are with your opinion,<\/span><\/p>\n

how little you hear me as I speak to you, <\/span><\/p>\n

so intent on formulating your response <\/span><\/p>\n

and how moral I am feeling right now <\/span><\/p>\n

with this observation of you. <\/span><\/p>\n

Volleys of monologues.<\/span><\/p>\n

So<\/span> it goes ME YOU ME YOU US THEM, <\/span><\/p>\n

Bam <\/span>Bam<\/span><\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

Tiny gun battles unconsciously rehearsing the larger struggle <\/span><\/p>\n

gihads<\/span>, fatwahs of personal opinion. <\/span><\/p>\n

The obsession to be right <\/span><\/p>\n

the right to quick anger, <\/span><\/p>\n

miniature hostilities that begin with tiny bullets, <\/span><\/p>\n

subtle wounds, undercover hurts, <\/span><\/p>\n

smoldering coals stoking, smoking toward conflagration<\/span><\/p>\n

of how in love you are with your own opinion <\/span><\/p>\n

and how perfectly gloriously righteous I am feeling now<\/span><\/p>\n

with my lofty scrutiny of your imperfections, <\/span><\/p>\n

waiting to win the next volley.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moths flying into flames. <\/span><\/p>\n
