trailing

  

There is a significant difference
between clueless -- which can be
fixed through education --
and nasty asshole
(which needs to be stopped).
 
 
 
There are all manner of
bigots and bullies spewing
delusional rationales.
 
 
 
Too lazy to win by superiority
instead attempts to get ahead
through chicanery.
 
 
 
instead of these pernicious oil pipelines,
why don't we use pipelines to
bring water to arid places?
 
 
 
 
you can't persuade a person to release
an idea they are in thrall to
you can talk with them about it, ask
questions, relate with kindness and interest,
and share your own beliefs and how
you came to them
over time dialog can make a difference
to a formerly closed mind.
 
 
 
As an introvert, I feel
liberated by social distancing,
enjoy the anonymity, sense
of self-security, of masking.
(Isn't it the noisy extraverts
who cause all the trouble?)
