the politeness policy
You never act like a boy,
or a girl,
You act neither,
let me give you some reminders:
You walk neither,
sway your hands in ambiguity,
don’t carry with you a briefcase or a feather duster –
Talk neither,
the tone of your voice must be the interim of everything,
if it would have colors it must be colorless,
not dark navy nor shallow pink.
Think neither,
meaning you think without personality.
you don’t scatter petals prior the arguments,
nor you hide stringencies behind moon blasts –
You become neither –
you call no one man, nor woman woman,
you call every one neither –
So smile neither,
meaning you don’t smirk,
or coyly carve a canopy on your face,
it’s offending.
You don’t want to offend anyone, do you?
Neither do I.
