Earlier, at a another poem, "Chatterbox," I wrote about a guy probably got on drugs, and as a result became quite paranoid and very annoying to those who had to deal with them on a daily basis. Eventually he was fired for his annoying behavior and escorted off campus by police. I saw him much later and found him to be jovial and relaxed, even though his father had died, a man of great politeness, knowledge and skill, perhaps the source of his inferiority complex.
A slice of the reality of life for some people at one point in time or another. Jealousy can be very destructive. I hope this acquaintance will clear up his act soon and be more focused.
I used to work in a department where two women were fighting each other daily. Sadly, my line of work had to be involved with them both. If I went out to lunch with one and not with the other, the other one would question me what had we been talking about during lunch. Luckily, I knew well enough to leave out the conversation that was relating to either of them.
Let this be a warning: if you ever talked bad about either one to the other, chances are when they become friends once again, they would hold that against you personally. So don't ever go there. :) Just do your own work and you'll be fine.

This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses
