quite contrary

my anti-social behavior
is now
acceptable
normal even…
things are not right
in this world.
the politics
of covid
have turned this contrary
introvert
this well-coccooned worm
into a
blooming
fucking
social butterfly
if society tells me to keep away
you can bet your ass
i won’t.

my mom used to call me “mary mary quite contrary”…she might have been dead on about that one.

i have discussed my transformation with some people. it is funny to me–that i am finding myself reaching out more & more. my normal behavior became the norm…so now my behavior has become abnormal (for me)….
i’m abnormally social for me, which makes my behavior it’s normal level of non-conformity.

ouch…my head hurts.
