he opened the shitty door of his shitty apartment and got in looking like shit The jacket was torn at the sleeves and the shirt underneath was torn at the chest Wet mud adorned his knees and ankles and his cheap shoes were about to fall off There was blood stuck into his thick beard and mustache and a bit around the knuckles "Happy new year!" he said as he closed the door behind him and paced from hallway to bathroom Yes, another New Year's Eve spent alone He was 46 But the punks he beat in the streets couldn't have been older than 16 The fuckers were doing what today's kids called 'pranks' and threw firecrackers at him "It's just a prank, bro!" they cried over and over again as he charged them and started swinging wildly At some point the punks had to fight back or die but they lost anyway When it comes to minors, you're infinitely less of a monster if you beat the shit out of them than if you love them Society will understand And as he washed his face at the bathroom sink he understood where all the rage sprang from Envy, of course The envy that only a 46 year old brute who spends New Years Eve alone could feel Oh, and how he felt it.
A man like your description stood before my eyes. I thought it was all happening in front of me. Beautiful write, Bogdan!🙂

Well, you know the saying, «When you’re young, you can do anything, but not everything.»
Unfortunately, too many of them choose to do the wrong things :))

Bogdan, You know , sometimes we write our own life- yesterday at night i return home by train and – situation, two young punks in train without tickets
on the seat right next to me, the conductor came, you should have seen how I grew up and suddenly I was like a mountain ready to defend the conductor, amazing beautiful black hair young woman 🙂 the guys were considering what to do, only four people in the train… in the end I was a little involved, it was not necessary use violence, but the guys would hit hard, I have a blue belt in karate, so it probably wouldn’t work out for them 🙂 you never know when and what will come in handy….but the possibility occurred to me because I remembered your words. …so you wrote me an interesting story on the train :):):)
Be still creative and healthy and best to the New Year 23…Poetry rise from the ashes and we have chance be there. I have public reading in library at the end of the January and it will be like reading in Gallery Six in San Francisco, i will be Czech Ginsberg :):):) Nice day!

I feel sympathy for the man. Celebrating New Year’s Eve on your own must be horrible.

That’s true, if you’re getting older you don’t stand up for all that shit anymore. Then you let the fist do the talking. 🙂

Yep. I guess sometimes it’s simply the best response ʕ๑→ᴥ←๑ʔ

I’d say that I can savor that bitterness from time to time. A great way to express the rage that simmers within. Have to remember to release the steam. Great poem, Bogdan! 🙂

A lot in life depends on how we express our rage and suppressed feelings.
Surely some ways are better than others :))
I’d say one of the best ways is trough art (˃́ᗜ˂̀๑)
