If he were in high school
they’d call him a bully
and take him to
the principal’s office
for counseling.
But he’s an adult
who believes life
should be the way
he says it should be.
When you run into him
at the coffee shop
he’s quick to tell you
why you’re wrong.
You listen to him
and politely say
that may be so
but you don’t know
and quietly walk away
