The B(itch) of Beige ~ Sarcasm Intended

I don’t like herds

or sheep parkas

that smell like gaslighting.

The crazy of a pencil puppet

is the ride on the dotted line

too often leads to becoming a robot. 

I’m not so naïve as to not understand

I must occasionally allow myself

to appear to be a hostage of conformity.

You know, dress in faux beige so I can

pretend I never read a book or understand

history has a catalogue of too often repeated. 

Oh, if I were truly a Bitch Goddess

I’d slap minds with my opinions 

until my tantrums carved them

into my likeness, but I can be wrong.

(I’m so humble.)

So, I acknowledge my broom may

have a few loose straws that 

require attention. 

It is difficult to walk the tight rope

between unhinged and a bit stable.

I do wear sensible shoes though,

and apply my sarcasm only when needed.

When I write, I'm never sure where I will

end up, but I chose the word beige and got curious

about its symbolism. My fingers rushed to Google

to discover there is much to know about beige.

Symbolism Of Beige

Symbolically, the color beige brings

 a sense of energy and strength – 

a trustworthy, dependable kind. 

 This is due to intellectual abilities,

 wisdom, ideas and knowledge.

Hmmm, Obama's suit.
