to learn guile
how I grew up
who I grew up with
it wasn't picturesque
wasn't faultless
but the joys
and the cruelties
were all honest
straightforward
I was slow
to recognize
deceptions
mostly from the rich
the privileged
the bosses
you need wealth
to posture
the certainty
of safety
for pretense
a flexible
morality
for hypocrisy
all class luxuries
and craven
