Lifting Mountains by Gwil James Thomas

Everyone’s entitled to a bad day - 
but each day it was exactly 
the same for our boss - 
he’d scream, 
shout and hurl things about, 
mostly over nothing - 
before he’d stare 
at you 
and shake madly,
until you weren’t sure if he was 
about to explode, or cum - 
his raw energy and bitter hatred 
was so incredible that I got 
the feeling that even if a soupçon 
of love was let into his life, 
it would have been so disarming 
and eye opening - 
that it could have 
lifted mountains into the sky 
and I hope that he found love, 
even if it was a love for himself - 
but I seriously doubt that 
the miserable bastard 
ever did.
