Virtual knockout

A feeling that one may experience from time to time.

 

It's rather surprising

when one expects

a caress of loving fingers

on his cheek,

and gets a punch instead

on his chin.

As if  it was Intended

to knock him out.

It mustn't be physical,

It can be just a few words

sometimes;

or the absence of certain

words, which might be

even worse.

It depends of course

on who has to face it;

who has to stand the

blow or who's able

to bear it with a smile,

due to experience and

good humor.
