    • They were probably drinking or on something and thought they knew you from way back. So they just let you go. Life is strange that way but I am glad nothing other than a scare happened to your wife.

      • Yeah they were drunk. Which I’ve been in shady situations before but I’m very protective of my wife. It just felt different with them circling back. They actually parked right in front of use waiting for use. When I pretended to know them they drove off to fish I think. Not sure if they were just trying to scare us or what, but never know in this world.

        Thanks for the read friend.

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. Sometimes you gotta roll with the punches, while hoping none are thrown, cooler heads can prevail. Quick thinking my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Sometimes idiocy outweighs intention. If someone intent on bullying & causing trouble is suddenly confronted with the unexpected…not anger or fear but friendliness…they usually falter. Probably spent the rest of the day trying to remember where you knew them from. Quick on your feet, my friend. In your shoes, I would have been terrified. I think it’s one of the biggest reasons my partner is leery of PDA…he’s afraid of becoming someone’s irrational abuse target. I wish it wasn’t such a pervasive reality 😕

      • It’s not uncommon to get one or two jerks yelling things out their car, but yeah it was scary with them coming back for us. If it was one or two people but with there being two trucks with at least 8 people all together. I stood no chance even if I had a knife. I think the thing that really scares me is I know my wife wouldn’t run. She wouldn’t leave me. I’m ok with me being hurt but not my wife.

        But thankfully it didn’t turn ugly.

        Thanks for the read friend. Much appreciated.

    • To see the world and its inhabitants as they truly are and be able to accept them is being “woke” then I am too. Nice stream of consciousness.

      • I will never be ashamed of supporting those who are just trying to live their lives. I mean I feel extra worried for trans people. When you have the vice president calling trans people deranged it’s mind blowing. Scary times.

        Thanks for the read, much appreciated.

    • Spitting fire, Nick. Into the book it belongs! A very powerful write my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • !!!!🙌 So on point, my friend! That’s all I got for words here. You done said it all🙌!!!

      • ✋ such a great comment. Honestly I’m just happy to see there are people that see the ugliness that is happening.

        Thanks for the read, friend. Much appreciated.

    • Hell yeah! 💥
      Really, it’s gotta be the most lame-ass insult I’ve ever heard. If someone is calling people “woke”, does that mean they’re admitting that they’re asleep..? And… proud of it..? 😆 Geez.

      Love this write!
      ❤️k

      • Yeah, it is very stupid. And yet they keep saying it like they’re on to something. Literally they’re saying we shouldn’t think. It’s just as stupid as that movie don’t look up.

        Thanks for the read, friend. Much appreciated.

    • I am reading and I will do my best to get eyes on the creatives. Being a creative person is never easy, but it is a necessity in my eyes.

      • Art is always subjective but I think losing DUP was a big hit to us poets. But I really hope to see more friendly faces here. I think once people get the hang of things they would see it’s even better.

        I try to do my part as well but life is busy these days.

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Well I was hooked from the first line, where does poetry go when it dies? I guess into oblivion to exist but be unseen and unheard. It’s crazy how we have so devalued and under appreciated art in any of its true forms when the world we live in now screams all the things that should make it thrive.

      • Devalued is pretty much everything now. It’s sad, but maybe one day things will come around. I mean if vinyls can make a comeback, why not?

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Mic Drop! Excellent write, Nick. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • I will never surrender my ink! We’re not dying. We’re simply finding pockets of safety in a world gone mad. If I could put this on my reading list, I would…twice. Damn…

      • A very mad world these days. Which honestly with as many opinions people have you think they would want to write poetry instead of tweets.

        Thanks for the read, friend. Much appreciated.
