Dealing With Others

By Kincaid JenkinsPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

It must have been

a bar for geniuses

for they had all the answers

about religion, abortion,

personal freedoms,

the rights of others

no matter how ill informed

they made it known that

these weren’t opinions but fact

on who should be deported,

the fate of a fetus 2,000 miles away,

what makes a man or woman

as easily as they assess from the

safety of their seats exactly what

the athlete on television should do

scientists should study them

in this natural habitat where

beer makes them all knowing

while I pay my tab and leave

knowing that I understand life

enough to live it but not explain it
