) Came across yet another trigger, while small still brought rigor

Noticed someone stared
looking mighty unkind
stressed me that it dared
left me feeling maligned

Neighbor’s small dog’s nostrils flared
got me triggered, re-traumatized
with its rice-sized-shaped teeth bared
behooved me getting authorized:

to reclaim my fair share of trauma
indulge my symptoms in high drama!

+)
rigor = excessive sternness; something hard to endure
