Antipathy

byGuiltyPleasure©

It’s a tickle, pernicious prickle,
running along the spine,
intuitional, often quite fickle,
a subconscious ratiocine.

It might be an action,
a gesture, a word,
some over exaction
so often blurred but
setting the scene for
open warfare, tightening jaw
where a smile was before.

Some will deliberate,
setting the bait.
wanting some combat
protagonists agonize.
Unwilling to wait they
rumble and quibble until
there’s a nibble then
let battle commence.
