That's Rude to Run Away Like That

Having an optimistic outlook,
For one who has made the decision...
To divorce from old wounds,
And the causes for them.
Makes for a renewed approach to life.
With the acceptance of fresh nonsense,
Appearing less of a threat...
Than one attempting a failed mugging.

'I'm sorry, dude.
You caught me on a bad day.
Try me again around the first of the month.
Especially in the morning...
After I've had a cup of,
Hey...
HEY?
That's rude to run away like that.
I wasn't finish explaining.
You are never going to be a good mugger.'
