me and people like me
we
throw the coins of their approval onto the brass dish, with hope
of balance, stability, fair play
tip things in our favor

me and people not like me
we
plaster distinctives with fragile skim coats, with intent
to mollify, pacify and unify
keep things pleasant

me, and people who don't like me
we
are free from the mutual debt with obligations
to smilingly, laughingly, falsely
enjoy each other
