408.
people talk so much
good solid outspoken smothering sound
Again I sit wedged between
loud drama and unpublishable gab
409.
dinner stared out of the kitchen window
eyes turned hard as marbles
A guest died. tonight.
good.
411.
I freeze her hard
straight frost crack and peel her
I was hurt. I said I had enough.
412.
say Nothing
stranger
No matter how angry You Are

408 and 411 works for me!
I agree that there are way too many people sometimes and contact is abrasive to me. Oh yes. ! And as 408 says, they talk so much sometimes!
Hurt and posting of boundaries and then the consequence of crossing the line! So much anger simmering just below the words….
There is a lot we have to put up with, us humans, there are so many of us as we are everywhere, and usually we can do it, but then there are those times…
408 is spot on!
Yes. It is awful to be caught in the middle of excess conversation and not be able to leave!
