Me And Big Bine

Bine was big. BIG
and angry.
Not at specifics.
Fundamentally.
His very nature
was structured rage.

"Who ye laughin it?"
was all he asked me.

I had not laughed,
not cracked a smile,
not twitched a lip.

There was no reason
for his thumping me.

Stamping on my hands
was overkill.

I do not play piano
any more, or smile.
It is enough to type
one-finger poems
with my elbow.
