Inclination

[mathiasthom]

Outside this window
viewing moving objects
all shapes and sizes
traveling in lines
and circles
insistent and determined
connected by cell phones
and computer devices
talk is reduced to text
and symbols
shouting arguments
in caps,
like anyone will hear
the choice French words
that just erupted
from this filthy mouth
as coffee cascades
across the keyboard
dogs startled
in the other room
the door bell chimes
drunkenly out of tune
one of these days
might answer the door,
if ever felt
so inclined
to even bother
