Ooooooooooooo! Really?
Ousted
It’s a strange feeling
this state of being
ousted
from civilised society
no harsh words flung
at twenty paces
or less
no direct hint
of the exact transgression
or which social more
has been broken
just the chill
just the chill
of a silent phone,
the blank stare
of an empty mailbox,
and the clipped
consonants
of polite conversation
when avoidance is
impossible.
..ouch....well written.
