DEPOLARIZATION

POEM: INTOLERANCE OF AMBIGUITY

I don't like Middleness!

I'm tired of  people making fun of me for my Middle West connection.
(When we were planning to move from Princeton, NJ, to Iowa City, IA, back in my native territory, a friend exclaimed, "I would rather die than live in the Middle West!")
I  don't feel good about being Middle Class
inhabiting the Temperate Zone 
 living moderately
even sitting in the Midde of a restaurant.

On a questionnaire, I answer
"Strongly agree" or "Strongly disagree"

Middle-of-the-roader?
Could cause a traffic accident

Fence-sitter?
Could topple over

Different shades of gray?
Black or white is neater

Lukewarm people?
"God spews them out of His mouth"
Revelation 3:16

You say "Trying"?
Shit or get off  the pot

 I'm glad my home is not in the Middle of the triplex!
