Standing Unspecified
My gender’s not the fairer one,
my student status ... past,
mine is not the voice of region
nor a specific caste.
No network calls me “one of us”
nor seeks to mollify,
I'm not considered ethnic, thus
I do not qualify.
The journals, competitions and
calls for anthology
don’t explicitly ask for bland,
old, white-guy poetry.
