My Father left me
no shortage of mandates
with one of the loudest being…
“Son, make them eat their words – and if they choke on them, that’s on them…”
At those times in my life
when I’ve been relegated
to the putrid swamps of stereotypes –
I’ve always stayed true
to a persistent habit of manifesting
myself as a cruel contradiction.
