unable to know the struggles of womanhood
unable to identify with the patriarchy

unable to sympathize with the lowest classes
unwilling to sympathize with the highest classes

not of color due to a privilege by birth
vehemently rejecting of ubiquitous white supremacy

not of a divergent sexuality
not so steeped in the norm as to reject the very idea

aloof from generational narratives of tenacious entrepreneurship
slave to demographic trends of marginal employment

born with a leg up in the freest nation's capitalist paradise
dreams of one day seeing it destroyed

tasked to be normal
i begin to wonder
