I saw you and you looked like you were searching
for an excuse to cop an attitude, so I walked by
‘cause I had other important things to get to first.

I had heard about your stroke of bad luck, and really
did not know how to make an appropriate response -

Is your offering here because ‘mender’ caused you
a problem somewhere in your past, or is it just that
sometimes you feel useless n need to strike out like
I do… but that’s OK.

Just try not to do something to hurt
yourself, or be all grown-up n nice…
