Sorry To Bother You

A newer writer asked me
a question.
I gave her a full, well thought-out answer.

Her response?
“Thank you.
Sorry to bother you.”

F*ck you, newer writer.
Where in my answer
did I imply
you were ‘bothering me’?

Instead of feeling good
about helping someone,
this person,
with her passive-aggressive
woe-is-me reply,
made me feel bad.

Wipe
‘Sorry to bother you’
from your phrase book.
It doesn’t sound humble.
It sounds b*tchy.
And it won’t make you any friends.
