Argue with Your Neighbour

#Prompt 123

One day you will learn to leave the conversation unfinished

Starve yourself of the fight

Fail to negotiate a win

and terrorise your comebacks into silence

That day the sun will rise and set

As it should

the day though unremarkable will carry the chill of a Cold war

pressed against your window

asking to be fed

ignoring the fast

Today is not that day.

today you show that

though never guilty of starting things

-you finish them with certainty

eviscerating everything in sight.
