society ain’t fake

Ever took a look around the crowd

Like really took a look and found

the same old people in a different realm

The kingdom of our mind lets us judge

everyone around us,

until we see them as we must

this person reminds me of an old friend

she looks like your ex girlfriend

what about him

his mannerism remind us of slim

shady people always have that grin

With those eyes that look thin

room scanning avoiding the chatter

analyzing each person like individual chapters

Page after page until you get home

place that book on the shelf

Couple people walk away, here comes a few more

Not the same people, familiar nonetheless

can’t put a name to that face

that personality is its own case

jury’s out deliberating the facts

mannerisms, facial expressions, vocal inflect

cross examination inside the mind

what you see, prosecution

memory and thoughts, the defense

a legal battle, mental distraction

restraining order issued for protection

keeping thoughts inside not to blow the cover

conscientious about what they think

wait a minute who gives a shit

start a conversation just to see if

Tim is Tim

or maybe Tim ends up being Kim

how could she be him

why can a man identify as woman but not a kid

evolution of these social constraints we live in

Rittenhouse can get away with the kill

share empathy with every individual

that’s why Tim can be Kim
