unhinged i live in the north shore
and take the bus to work
my students drive mercedes, volkswagen
i go to hip_hop shows to dance in my free time
she was shocked when i said
i don't wear high heels
i had my dress pulled up around my knees
and that guy driving past in his beamer
smiled at me
my student wears dresses to her dancing competitions
that cost what i make in a month
i shop with them at trader joes
contemplating getting food stamps
for my vegan raw groceries
telling a mom at work
how to make ginger root tea for her arthritis
no i don't have health insurance
please leave your sick child at home
what you pay me for that lesson
won't even come close to covering my doctor visit
no that's cool
i guess you don't have to pay me today
(even though the store is surrounded by atms)
no i don't have a tv
that's right
i take the city bus to work
no i don't want a job with the irs
thanks for offering though

unhinged i don't need a luxury automobile
or the house with a yard
to make me happy
i leave those relics_of_a_suburban_life behind

i bet money
i smile more than you do

unhinged i refuse to do a job for the health insurance
i refuse to pay to be treated like shit

i am not an exercise for your control issues
i refuse to quit being so sensitive



i am tired for being seen only in a negative light
