On the Commute Home
Hey, it’s me
I’m just calling because
the kids who come in at work like to lie to us for fun
to see what they can get away with mostly
and they smile when they do it
and it’s going to make me boil over
Also I need your opinion on if it’s still gaslighting
if they’re under ten
And if you know a good kid way to say
Hey I’ve got Baggage™ so when you tell me
the reality here is whatever you say it is
it makes me want to burn this place to the ground
But you know, nicely
Call me back when you get the chance

I can relate to trying to decompress after work. The phone call makes for a fun vehicle.
Always confusing to deal with kids at work who wouldn’t understand baggage, great poem!
