a tired monk walk

"I'm pissed off"
"they stopped checking"
"blew that lead in twenty minutes"
"losers - buncha losers"

more:


smash-whacking snow
off his car
ice kicking
f-bomb flurries
disdain and spitting anger

    Yes, walk on by. What do they say about resentments -- drinking poison and wishing someone else would die. Nice to be divested of that, eh? - Brendan

    Ollie, you have some interesting neighbors.
    I most times can't understand what mine are saying. Well, unless it is really nasty:)
    Nice one.

    I so know the feeling of walking bemusedly past someone who is in a storm of self-created angst, feeling like a calm pebble alongside a tornado. Good one, Ollie!Fantastic response to the prompt!

    Like your take on the prompt. Real people can be so much more interesting and entertaining than the ones we pay money to see.

    Your neighbors sound like a sitcom for HBO or maybe a book you should write ;-D

    I could feel the fluster of walking brisk and moving on!

    there's poetry everywhere.

    this is like unlawfully picking ripe apples from your neighbors tree. who can resist it.

    Stellar work as always, Ollie! Love the flurries of f-bombs and your nonchalant saunter past with the dog, much as I would do...:)
