What on earth just happened?

Disrespect!

It was not you. You did nothing wrong.

It hit her

The way a bullet finds its target
Quickly
Leaving a wound constantly digging

Unlike a messenger
Don’t shoot him
He delivered hurt-to-the-bone
Passive-aggressive
Gone-without-a-word
Heartache

She’d forever remember this pain
From a typical player’s
You’re-such-a-sap message
You’re-a-piece-of-art-people-will-
Pass-finding-it-unstimulating
Missive

Shrugging days later
She hung a blank canvas
In a popular gallery
Propped it with a strategically placed broom

Presented her own provocative admonition
