"Yet I am not anything: neither fowl nor fish / But a stranger a lone ranger slam-dunk skate punk"


Poem Artwork

Transcendental Sonnet #1301:

Misfit

 

Geschmacklos / Tasteless Me: Would You Agree?

 

At least all American teenagers love me

And everybody else on AuthorsDen

But I give some Europeans apoplexy

My friends from the Arab world (mostly men)

Find me too civilized to be American

Which is also the case with friends from India

And even some kind souls from old Virginia

 

Europeans note this cultural difference:

They have culture!  I have none!  But in my defense

I really think I should say

They love me in the UK

Because if I am anything I am British

Yet I am not anything: neither fowl nor fish

But a stranger a lone ranger slam-dunk skate punk

Each of us is what we chose to be along with what wonderful people that we meet on our trek through life from childhood to old age and how they influence us.

;-) The misfits are the special people.. who wants to be ordinary?
