barely repressed rage

I sit in my nest virtually visiting interesting virtual spaces.
I assume my brain is fine.
Once out of the virtual and into the actual
Oh-oh
My brain is not fine.

Rage
Where I cannot point and click
Type and enter
Say something pithy
Click away

Where children whine
Irresponsible
Uncontrollable
With no gratitude, no appreciation, no patience
No way to click away.

There
Charged with mundane responsibility
Where charm doesn't work
What tool to use?
Only rage. Only rage in the toolbox today.
Rage is effective but for the wrong reasons in the wrong way.
A sledgehammer on a delicate mechanism.
Rage distroys both sides; the giver and the receiver.

Hide. Go away. Let it go.
This doesn't fix it,
But it doesn't destroy it either.
Hide. A good response? No. But better than the
distructive
alternative.
