smack
smack
the man on the left is chewing
loudly and proudly and you are bereft of silence.
smack
smack
and you want to hit him upside the head
because if you have to suffer, he will too
smack
smack
that Trident is grating your nerves
as you try to ignore the him and put up a buffer in between
smack
smack
it’s getting ridiculous now
this stupid sound coming from his stupid jaw as he bites down on pink rubber
smack
smack
snap
slap
you hear it before you register what you’ve done
he’s startled by your thwack, there’s silence
then he starts choking
choke
choke
the bloke on your left is coughing
loudly and you are bereft of silence.
