I hate you more
roared out of the camper I passed
and hit my right shoulder
stuck to my skin like a coating of carnage
someone inside must have said I hate you
in order to start this war of words when
I hate you more flew out once more
each repetition stripped of nuance
yet they woke a memory of cries propelled
like a Frisbee between a friend and her child
I love you
I love you more
back and forth, they screamed at each other
