You call me a (insert here),
expecting what back,
disappointment and shame?,
hell back in elementary,
I looked up the word,
couldn't help but smile,
my revelation sent your vocational definitions,
into the back of the fold,
content to rest as a side note in my story,
to be flipped to in moments like this,
my response laced with a withheld vernacular,
you flashback to the state tests scores scored below par,
comprehension never for the ignorant,
looking like a thorazined patient,
lost and drooling,
my own facade letting go,
a smirk of victory revealing intent,
defeat bringing a slide of images,
frantic yet clear,
leading to a violent uprising of primal reaction,
but hey man,
we can chill for a moment,
I got a few of them fags.
