As Something Should
How do I say, I don’t want to be
A citizen? I want to be safe.
I want the citizenry to be
Civil to each other and to me.
It’s nice to have basic services.
Freedom from concerns about healthcare,
Its cost, its availability
Would be a relief. To feel no one
Ever felt that they needed to feel
Threatened by me would be a relief.
But I am not a good citizen.
I’m a mediocre citizen.
I don’t make much trouble for the rest.
If I’m worthless, I’m so in the cracks.
I’m glad most citizens ignore me.
I don’t know what I’d do targeted,
If insulted frequently. I would
Still like breeze to touch me, as you did.
