Shots fired!

Into the crowd

you cannot see

the eyes of another across your firewall.

So brave

So bold

you load your antagonistic jibe into the social media chamber

pull back that trigger finger

and hit send

You can’t understand the consequence

but you watch the aftermath, salivating

from your comfortable distance

You wonder why

they’re mad

sad

dead

just words are what you think you said

so you shrug it off

but words were meant to be met

and tethered to

the physicality of the interaction

an art lost on you

Because when you rise into to your fighting stance you sit

upon your anger, hate and judgments

you load them all into the chamber

put your finger on that hair trigger

Because you are SO MUCH BIGGER

behind your firewall
