I’m A White Ally
A poem by Dash MacIntyre about political correctness in a grocery store.
An old morose obese white lady in a motorized scooter
controlled by grandma-winged arms passed by me in Walmart
and pointed out the people of color
and said to me there’s too many n****** around
so I told her she couldn’t use that word
and she looked surprised I wasn’t on her side
and told me not to care about all that political correctness baloney
so I said okay
there’s too many shit life syndromed racist hillbilly bigots
like you around raising up our healthcare costs
with your life’s hedonistic approach to trans fat
cigarettes guns and opioids
you’re what there’s too much around of
not some random black people just existing with black skin
and she looked at me horrified
and opened her mouth to scold me
so I told her to shut her meth mouth
and all its political correctness baloney…
maybe she had an aneurysm
because she got quiet babbling something to herself
and I said it appeared she actually quite liked the conveniences
of casual political correctness
and she huffed and turned her head
and her scooter slowly motored away.
