  6. ‘that ain’t what was understood, motherfucer!’ barclay yelled at phillips. he strained against the cops’ hold. the veins in his neck bulged like a bull god. phillips feigned surprise, looked at the cops and shrugged. the cops manhandled barclay out the 7-11 to the cruiser. phillips sauntered down the street away from the scene, tried to make himself feel better, ‘ain’t my fault he misread the no go signal…’

  9. Nobody understood me. Nobody felt the way i felt. I was alone and felt like dying. Like diving into the dark dull depths of the black sea. I felt alone and nobody would or ever could understand that… Understanding was first knowing then listening then understanding the situation… but nobody could… shame… i was damned…

  10. i feel understood, but miss understood at times, i guess it all depends on how i’m feeling, what i’m thinking and how i’m acting, being understood and understanding people is an important skill to have in life and to have this skill will make you very successful.

  14. Don’t be truly horrible, she thought. He understood perfectly, but he still wanted those baby back ribs. God, I’m such a cunt. Why couldn’t he just let me have those ribs? They sparkled with delicious and I would have done anything for them.

  19. The world came crashing down around the city; boulders smashing into buildings of great importance, fires burning down houses of families who had left long before.

  23. Neither of them really understood
    the unspoken connection between them
    Years in the making, The past
    The always present, pleasant tension
    Confused as the teenage years will do
    Early twenties and it’s still there
    Indescribable and going no where
    Hoping difficult trust will lead
    to a place where it finally makes sense

  29. I understood the implications of clicking ‘go’ quite well, but still, when faced with that bold declaration of a challenge I found myself lacking. Understood. Understood? Had I really understood what I was getting myself into? And now where was I?

  39. I like that word, it means that you or someone else knows what’s happening and why it’s happening. I usually prefer a topic if I understand it, understand why I’m doing it…it’s made up of two words – under and stood.
