From The Sideline
From The Sideline (Watching Cancel Culture)
My life is unlearn everything you know,
or components of it,
but figure out on your own which parts. Or,
just throw yourself out.
Or, just accept you’re defective, reduced to public scorn,
labeled a Karen or Boomer, some kind of racist.
Just conform already
(when you figure it out, straighten out, resubmit yourself for consideration)
and get with the flow
(or fake it perfectly),
keeping your head low
(knowing ageism is around every corner),
and maybe, no one will call you out.
You might survive this
(or it redirects, changes mid-stream in 15 minutes)
as you eye the cellar of your thoughts.
There’s no escape from drama or indifference.
Be neither protagonist or villain and watch and cringe
or laugh from the sideline.
Let’s not learn their game, okay?
half-time, fourth quarter, two-minute warning, heading to overtime?
You, with your sports metaphors. Take a timeout.
