grocery store confessional

There is this story,
I heard it
Once
when I
was a kid.

There was a girl.
Now
I don’t remember
the particulars
not clearly
at least
but
I remember
the feeling
of the story.

Another
bullshit parable
teaching
another
bullshit rule
with the underlying message of
try
and not be
an asshole.

Something
something
church.

I am guessing
you never heard this or
any
of the other stories
they told us
to try and
shape
our young minds
into something more
pliable
for the rest of our
miserable existences.

Because you are an

Asshole.

    1. it is part of a short story that is a podcast with a poet. I channeled him for three poems and posted them alone here. Just playing around with voices from the past. It makes me happy you noticed.
