it works for you, but not for all
don’t get holy and righteous
heaven forbid you become like us
careful where you bang your gavel
as it might just kill your high horse
it’s OK, you say, for you’ve got a huge closet
to hide its skeleton
oh, of course

Bonjour ! I’ll continue to write about my favorite French-inspired things, as well as books, chocolate, music, movies, and postcards, but to change things up a bit, I will also share a 50-word poem each day in the month of January!
These micro-poems are based on personal observations, pesky intrusive thoughts, and general anxiety about getting older.
About this poem: I simply wanted to express my annoyance with holier-than-thou people, but the irony is not lost on me that condemning such hypocrites signals priggishness. My apologies / pardonne-moi !
Thanks for reading!
This poem is from my poem-a-day series (January 2024).
