in college

One day back in the late 60s, I happened to be hitching a ride back to my off campus room from a sorority sister and noticed an open notebook on the floor of her car. The page on display was a series of the word "shit", neatly lined up, row after row.
I guess she was upset about something.
 
When I commented on it, she smiled and told me that there were many other pages filled just like that one was.
 
I haven't ever resorted to such a display...though I do write that word at the end of many sentences because, by nature, I have become an angry woman and this is my way of venting.
 
Now...using the word many, many times...or using it once in full caps...or just using it once, standing alone...which displays the most vehemence?
 
Shit.
 
I can't really say.
 
It just feels better after I've written it.
