Poem
One generic baby boomer, (a garden variety sexagenarian)... offers his interpretation of critical race theory I, (an articulate, charming, domesticated, erudite, friendly, genteel, humorous, intelligent, kind, learned, male, albeit modest – married) with freshly clipped formerly gnarly toenails discounts the popularized myth encompassing world wide webbed historical events despite being taught Northern Europeans owned preeminent supreme paradigm, whereby hegemony instituted, enforced, and blanketed upon conquered peoples. Blissful innocence shattered, when nasty brutes across Atlantic Ocean staked claim where Nations of descendents at least 15,000 years ago possibly much earlier, migrated from Asia via Beringia and called their home what eventually became United States. Violence exerted to wrest control and subdue native populations, whose culture clubbed, and ofttimes obliterated from face of the Earth. Lower Providence public school curriculum circa mid ninety sixties to late ninety seventies omitted teaching students (case in point - yours truly) about contemporaneous earthlings grappling with business of livingsocial buzzfeeding (courtesy fancy feast) aside from hashtagged explorers jackknifing indigenous tribes kickstarting exploitation against rightful owners of the land, which usurpers against natives dark shadows of former banished latter to outer limits of twilight zone. Self anointed discoverers applied misnomer "Indians" to bipedal hominids, who originally occupied Turtle Island unbeknownst to latter frankenstein like mailer daemons dwelt in subterranean psychic realm wrought havoc upon rational landscape helm at horrific tragic strewn source of catalepsy, which near mortal blow took place probably occurred at mine boyhood happy hunting grounds demesne named Glen Elm. Think metaphorical collision course induced straggling survivors who cried foul, when foreigners credo, fiat, and indeed latitudinal manifest destiny linkedin with eminent domain cruel fiends decried wrought major genocide lamentable attempt at war whoop impossible mission to defeat fortifications allowed, enabled and provided secure place to whip hide, (albeit unfairly) to seek then snuff out aboriginal pure tin pride. Analogous to violent upheaval along major fault line shift caused major emotional tectonic plate to rent asunder and irrevocable seismic rift and deliver sanity into Hades gate seismic alteration (albeit metaphoric) sheared apart major tectonic plate Richter scale needle absorbed mental quake shock registered brain wave bereft regarding annihilated state igneous allusions equate gray matter to liquid rock existential catastrophe casus belli of such egregious fate now finds me here experiencing writer’s block, where creative juices cease to create. The fount and receptacle of inventive wit gives vent and voice to ply me craft as I tried to capture elusive ideas awkwardly fit in some metrical schema from out my literary sword and haft with at least one eye on prize money maybe even win title of laureate showing true grin and grit epitomizing my rather iconic style dapper and daft trademark genre ranked by other in league with a nitwit prompting me to ponder another draft one more apropos and more comfortable misfit.
