A Possible Sufficiency

Such passion in resentment! –
such kick in vitriol! –
perversely sweet contentment
in swallowing it all

and spitting back vituperative
blasts of sharp retorts –
who cares about recuperative
peace?; to storm the forts

of huffy egotism,
pretentious wannabe’s,
while savoring the schism
that brings them to their knees,

comprises such proficiency
in viciousness: a state
of possible sufficiency
to muffle your self-hate.
