Everyone is doing their best…
Even the idiots, the dickheads and the pillocks with
what they know; who they are.
The prat doesn’t brush his teeth
and say ‘today I’m going to see how many people
I can irritate witless with my stupidity?’
No, he thinks, perhaps, his day is long, his lover unresponsive,
or his dog disobedient.
Mr ‘I’m not a racist, but… ’ believes it’s free speech not bigotry.
The road-rager knows the cursing, wank-hand waving, and honking will teach a lesson.
Me? Clearly, my well-intentioned interference, menopausal amnesia or pendantry
can turn me into the kind of arsehole that blights someone’s day.
