plein [N]
(vi)

on the down escalator
a guy
carrying a curtain rail
turned / swung / witless
smacked the poor woman
behind
in the face

not surprisingly
she was stunned
shocked
affronted

i laughed
i shouldn’t have
i laughed

it was
fucking
slapstick

i was wrong
going up
wrong

she was wronged
coming down
wronged

i shoudn’t have done
laugh
i did
