What muggles get

I could do with a few fewer
Harry Potter reaction shots of
wonder and glee upon seeing 
something incomprehensibly 
horrible

happening
to whom in
that moment 
"deserved" it. 

It's a pretty fine line
between schadenfreude
and sadism when you're
the one doing it. Anyway. 

It's probably accurate.
About what magic
would really be.

Nobody learns to control
themselves, just
calling it karma, 
blaming the victim 

as usual 

each of us!

The walking epicenter 
of judgment and mayhem, 
wondering with glee 
how and why that 

happened.
Of course, 
except

when it
hits 
us.
