Domestic War 54
As usual,
looks dart across the lounge
like missiles,
tension is transmitted
through passive aggressive smiles.
As usual,
thoughts simmer,
then explode into verbal shrapnel,
as mother begins to bellow
about life ‘n’ crap ‘n’ all.
As usual,
with every furious syllable
the double glazed windows chatter,
eyes disperse an ocean,
the dams around the ego shatter.
How did it all ignite?
Nobody has a clue.
And
never in the field
of pointless conflict
has spilt milk
meant so much
to so few.
