Weirdo

A crisis of identity it’s not.
She knows herself as well as one can ask.
The issue seems to be that she forgot
to blinker her responses with a mask
of socialized sobriety and dull
prescribed behavior. Sure we follow rules
of indirection, coolness, banal null
avoidance, insincerity: the tools
of normal muted social intercourse.
But she offends the world with honest phrase,
commits communication, and may force
by heat or shock a glowing spark to blaze.
It’s probable that she is well-adjusted,
and that’s enough to make her be mistrusted.
