A Normal Kid

I loved to play 'Cowboys and Indians' My favorite book was 'Little Fat Policeman' I really enjoyed a good minstrel show Desi Arnaz Jr's accent made my laughter grow Today I'd be a fat-shaming racist who culturally misappropriates to boot Back then I was just another 'normal kid' in his designer white-privilege suit

Normal is as normal does in normal settings in appropriate times and places unseen by the future…funny how the future uncovers relics and cracks them…rendering them meaningless, policing them, shaming them, locking them up, etc..

Wonder how 'the future' will treat today's morons! Can you imagine how quickly all the transgender treatment encouraging pols' names will be removed from the history books and the public register?! They're just ignorant mutilators, if you ask me. And why don't they permit kids to get tatoos on their own?!!
