I've Changed
ABCB
11-15-12
3 stanzas


i change the color of my eyes
for my world looks so askew.
maybe i'll feel better if i'm
violet, red, or blue.

i change the color of my skin
to blinding ivory: snow.
every winter clings to me
and i want everyone to know.

i change the color of this room
to kill the normal: insincere.
if everything is fake,
i have nothing left to fear.

... I have not changed

In this world's dream
Of insincerity book's ream,
Of ways to gal, entrap, distort... 
With mad charade I would not sport!

... I have not changed

Chameleon's reject I hues 
Among pretensions' realms obtuse,
The would be clutters of thin strife,
Americana-gilded life,
Well-wishing fakes as booth-found tans,
Pragmatic smiles and chants of pens,
Pill-puffed-up muscles, moneyed worth...
Greed-animation oozing forth...

... I have not changed

Girl-animated valley arts --
Six 'likes' to every sentence darts... ,

In glamour portraits mere nudes
Exhibit contents of the bruits... ,

Hoards of neanderthals of feeling
In every niche and cranny reeling... --

Oh what a world to which true form
Should neither cling nor soul-conform!

... I have not changed!
