Confession

 
 I am a racist
I guess
 for me
most gals
 from my own culture
have remained  
 aloof and faceless
 
what once were  
 hereditarily shunned
exquisite shades
 and their formerly
unfamiliar ways
 have somehow evolved  
as prominent features
 that set off
my natural  
 irrational
brain haze
 chemical reactions  
leading to
 near unquenchable  
pains
 
 perhaps  
its just a case  
 of familiarity  
breeding contempt
 
 when first introduced
...yet before letting loose...
 in this  
ever-uncomfortable  
 plane
I only rubbed shoulders
  ...rather than boulders...  
with gals  
 of similar
background and name
 
 yet something within
fought off  
 the vanity
and material profanity
 that characterize  
their nurtured expectations
 of upward mobility
and monetary gain
 
 you know what?
scratch my blather
 inane  
perhaps I should  
 just go  
screw myself
 'cause  
doesn't pretty much  
 EVERYONE  
desire the same?
 
 look at me  
trying to rationalize
 my own  
mysterious triggers
 as if I`m  
somehow hooked  
 into something  
bigger
 giving me position
to relate  
 
 even  
fictional Nazis
 selling
Cinnabon
 and Realty
are aware
 of Emily's  
astutely  
 pointed out
reality:
 
 The Heart wants
what the Heart wants...
 regardless of
creed
 and let's face it:
morality
