Would Natalie hate me for this?
I guess you would think
I’d become somewhat changed
if you saw how I’ve been
acting lately.certainly
I’ve gone much
more left-wing than I was,
and properly so,
too; lucky
I talked to the right people
or I’d probably be one of those pricks
on the internet, devil’s
advocating ethnostates
and white strength
and conservatism.
you were the start
I think
of my eventual revolution
but not the end of it. and I think
you first went off me
when I told you
I didn’t have an opinion on abortion
and now
4 years later
a lot of my politics
have boiled down to
traces of your opinion
and “would Natalie
hate me for this?”
still,
I think I’m glad you dumped me,
even though we’d probably
have fit together
well enough
with time.
I’m a better person than I was, or
more progressive anyway.
and I’ve met Chrysty too
and I’m very happy
with her.
