Non Grata


I’ve made a veritable art form

out of ignoring others

 

Taken it to the highest level,

its crown made out of thorns

 

Turning my back and looking away,

denying their importance

 

A world where they do not exist

—no insult could hurt more

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
