Cadence

The day dawned fickle
As I meandered into town
No worries I carried
For the same as them was I
Or so I surmised
Errantly
For erstwhile glares were currency
And by them I was richer
But greed gave beacon glare
And pursued I they did
Shouting I was too different
Too different to live
They had torches and pitchforks
Billyclubs and billygoats
Visigoths and a prom queen
Sporting primordial mum
They chased, I ran
I ran, they chased
Until in an Alley I was esconced
Returning home when
Intoxicating darkness veiled the Pole
And in a mirror there a look I stole
Seeing the difference their anger bespoke
For different I was
It wasn't that an eye was higher
Or that my unborn twin grew from my thigh
Nay, t'was something else I spied in the night:
My Right was Left and my Left was Right


Alicat, the Persnikitty

It makes perfect sense to me.  Bartender, another beer and shot please!  
Interesting read!


A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives.
