Simperers

Detailing social friction in their set,
she sorted people geographically,
contending east coast natives ever get
their notions and emotions blatantly
declared, while westerners are more repressed
(polite or sensitive they’d self-describe).

was owing to a hot or WASPy tribe.

Such demarcations do not serve the cause
of comprehending any argument.
The quiet souls, whose passions seen as flaws
are muted, stand like prey and can be bent
to charismatic will. That sad result
produces the success of every cult.
