just spent thirty minutes arguing fraudulent debit charge
stay calm, keep your cool, the lady on the line didn’t do it
anger flared in every cell
bastards tried to get a hundred dollar baseball game
i am close to screaming
go to the bank and cancel card and get new one
fury, righteous anger flowing through me
i am a conduit for pyschotic rage at the indignation
mostly because i am sleepy with a pounding headache
dispute charges, new card in hand
get in car and a little voice pops up from the backseat
my son kept hitting buttons on the controller
he spent the money he thinks
he looks close to tears
but he admitted it
and that, as i explain to him calmly, is what a man does
mistakes happen
it is owning them that makes you grow, none of us are perfect, but taking responsibility for our actions is one of the foundations of honor in a lawless world
no harm no foul
pride in my cub outweighed anger
never got that nap though
and the headache doesn’t seem like it is going anywhere
but i have them and it is worth it
