A trained refusal to swear

Educated, a trained refusal to swear
But where did you learn your vulgar facial expressions from?

New Age, they called it.
Sure you are sensitive,
But you are only sensitive to yourself.
You are the new example of self-absorption.

Perfect grammar and good manners,
Nice features, perhaps
You laughed at what others were wearing,
or every lack you noticed in them.

Your expressions, moving the wrong muscles around your mouth and brows
betrayed your lack of sympathy, and the need to step on some shoulders to stand a little taller. Pathetic.

Educated, a trained refusal to swear
No big deal, my friend’s dog is toilet-trained.
