I bite my lip 'til I taste blood

The lecturing professor speaks quickly
her vocabulary and hands to punctuate her rapid fire debate

The old fuck man behind me couldn't stop sniggering
when she spoke

Not when the other three male panelists
spoke saying nothing

It takes effort to follow her
Because, you see, some people are capable of entertaining multiple and seemingly contradictory thoughts at the same time

Truly intelligent people are capable of explaining that contradiction

Stupid people, when faced with a challenge, belittle their minds by forcibly, unwillingly admitting that they're out of their depth.

I almost said something about the old fuck
but left him to his wife's sshing and whispers of, stop you're being rude

I wonder if it's okay for me to be rude back
instead, I bit my lip until the flesh gave way to the copper taste of blood tinged saliva
