My life story

There is this girl.

She makes special efforts to refrain from cursing in public,
because once in a while,
some embarassing glimpe of memories
escapes
from the bolted vault that is her brain
and all that just makes her
GO BURZERK
and her entire body tense up in expectation
to yell out that one word.

FCK!

Usually followed by a more subdued,
Why the fck did I do that?

Since infanthood,
she has amassed
an ever-expanding inventory of memory triggers
that probed
THE
ENTIRE
SPECTRUM
of the human feeling of embarrassment,
from mild abashment
to utter humiliation.

Please do not disturb her
if you happen to meet her in her distress mode.

Pretend that you didn't notice
so you wouldn't add another case
to her already heart-wrenching collection.
