Mein Kampf
rests on my
bookshelf
next to the
autobiography
of Malcolm X

Feminists
march and protest
espousing hatred
for white men
like it's politically
correct

I avoid
my mother
like a felony
the thin line
of love and hate
has been
permanently
erased

There's ashes
of a man
my significant
other hates
hidden deep
inside our closet
we call it the urn
of disdain

I don't need
to go outside
to feel the
enmity and
contempt
of a divisive
world

All I have to do
is get dressed
