How Could I be a Poet?

by Nicole M. - Gemini

I have an
Institutional education
I grew up
In a small town called Bennett
I didn't know
Head stores existed
   until three days ago
I went into my first sex store
   two years ago
I'm as cultured
As a KKK memeber.
Any pain
That was ever inflicted
Was never by my parents
Or by societal circumstances
It was just
By the usual uneventful romances.
So if I'm living
  The average
calm water life
What gives me the right?

While everyone else
Is too busy
Chattering in their head
And going on
With their melodrama lives
I watched
With a smirk on the inside
Knowing
Drenched in the ability
For manipulation-

Peel all the situations
Modes of pain transportation
Kick out the crutches...
There's the core of people.
