Internet Arguments

Colors, closures, air quality,
arguments with strangers bring insanity.
You cannot convince them.
Instead you’ll stew in hate,
pumping pretentious paragraphs,
with twitching fingers and a drooling face.

All unable to consider

another point of view,
just stop up your ears and talk.
Hardly consider your spew.
Offend on purpose, be passive aggressive.
Then wonder why nobody listens to you.
Bad faith internet “intellectuals”
are as nuanced as a coin.
They’re heads or tails, spun on a whim,
too busy arguing about who has best symbol
to see their original sin.
