Critics. Their Sad, Toxic Hobby



Critics. Their Sad, Toxic Hobby
Kerry Doyal

Critics
Critics with checklists on clipboards
Clicking off criticism
Checking off complaints
Cliques of critics
Coffee clutches clucking, critiquing, condemning.

Content to be discontent.
No,  vindicated by others failings,  deficiencies.

Silent “ah ha's!” Proof!
Cumulative complaints
Unforgettable failings. Again.
Collected.
Cataloged obvious communal concerns

Unspoken directly
Finding fault,  faults.
Storing them away as treasures,  tools, trophies.

Waiting.
Biding time to unfurl the banner or truth.
Gotcha! See.

Assuming.
Not bothering to clarify
More damning evidence.
More notes taken.

Withering.
Loneliness
Isolation... all around

Community hindered
Unity splintered
Purpose thwarted
Mission mangled
Servants crippled

God dishonored
