difficult news bad news  made him furious 

                                               then hed try  try to negate his irrational bent  not beat someone senseless

not provoke them as much as his palms itched

the news exhausted himpulled his plug   emptied him

it made him heavy  two tons

made him want to sleep

                                            

it was better to sleep than to beat someone 

                                              despite him lining them up earlier as being worthy a good beating

he wouldnt kill them theyd never know how lucky they were  Never Not in a million years

thats how oblivious they were

who knows

maybe once he got up from his nap hed go out to find them anyways  insult taunt them

                                                                                              see if they wanted to dance wanted a piece of him wanted to walk into his ambush walk into the rage simmering inside him

maybe

who knows

hed see how he felt when he woke from his nap
