minor complaints

​minor complaints
 
this jolly man behind me is very happy
ho ho ho so cheerful tehee hee
which really, is great
it's so great
and at first
his laughter did warm my heart
or wherever my empathy lies
so often on public transit
you find only the surly, the tired
the snarled or sallow
but
he's been giggling
and heavy breathing
for the last 40 minutes
breathing so heavy
because he can't catch
enough air to sustain
that mirth
ho
ho
ho
i think i may be a grinch
