cursive

why do people love in cursive

why can't people be formal and bold

what's the point of being diverse if

we're going to be pretty yet cold

artfully crafted and carefully arranged

not a word or a hair out of place

romance and affection expertly managed

so as to make sure we never lose face

we must make sure to present ourselves

as elegant and sophisticated

paint beautiful words on our shells

we must make sure they wont hate it

it being who we really are inside

brash and impulsive and ugly (kinda)

is that so shameful that we must hide?

what makes us so sure they will mind, huh?
