Snob

I am 17
My friend
John has got
Me to go along
With him to a kung
Fu training center a
Place I consider silly
But the man in charge
Tells me kung fu teaches
Confidence to look another
In the eye since I am avoiding
Looking him in the eye because
I am embarrassed his life is kung
Fu and I am a snob about non
Intellectual pursuits but I am
Also 17 so I react by staring
Him into his eyes steadily
Never blinking until he
Looks away an act of
Rudeness I regret in
A life of few regrets
Yet it was rude an
Act of a snob and
I have tried to
Remember
Since not
To act in
A way
That
May
Hurt a
Fellow sentient
Being and have found
Since that dogs cats and
Other animals like me even
Though I am still a snob
About being a human
And therefore a bit
Condescending
But I try hard
Not to be
Rude so
Critters
Take
To me
And I to
Them even
Feeling love
Putting them
When possible
First over humans.
For me feelings are at
Once strange and I rely
On logic and reason in my
Analyses of events but find
If I keep smiling it seems to help.
But I am still a snob always
Wanting to weigh every
Thing always wanting
To look under the
Plate always
Measured
Never
Shaken
Unable to
Appreciate
Anxiety in others.
