Uniquer Than Thou
by Mathew Paust
The black tranny biker neon-blue-eyed eloquent acclaimed-poet bank executive
Democratic presidential contender
sneers covertly
at practically everyone else on the planet
until confronting another secretly sneering
black tranny biker eloquent acclaimed-poet bank executive Democratic contender but with
brilliant green eyes
each immediately sweats and has heart palpitations and
conceals a kaleidoscope of murderous thoughts
behind facades of cautious amity
wishing to keep all options open while alert to the possibility
the one iris pigment proves more camera friendly than
the other
Why can't we all just get along
police victim Rodney King injected into the ages
of human aspiration
Is it safe to presume Rodney King's eyes
were brown?

I like the title ...
Troubling times.
Many thanks to you, Erika and Gary.
It’s all about what’s camera friendly. I really love this, Matthew.
"black tranny," could be no one is more important.*
Love "the acclaimed-poet bank executive Democratic presidential contender"and I get to read that twice.
I thought tranny meant a baby carriage, but now I know better.
I love the contrast of eye color and I especially admire the ending.
My gratitude, Tim and Dianne.

The presumption that Rodney King's eyes were brown is probably the only safe thing left in our complicated situation. *
