THE  RUB

“Ay, there’s the rub …”
Sometimes it takes time
to figure out why the other
rubs us the wrong way.

They do at times and it’s not a dream.

They rub salt in our wounds.
They rub us the wrong thing.
They do the wrong thing - at
various times and in various ways.

They do and it’s a nightmare.

The bottom line is: they are difficult.
And like Hamlet, we don’t want
to be thinking “To be or not to be”,
but solution, solution, solution.

We have a problem here and sleep is not enough.
