A handle with care

smarts and looks

will always do you in

as much as

disabilities and deformities

appear to.

oh yes you can argue

that on a level playing field

the formers, smarts and looks

are definitely a better life

and apparently more convenient

and therefore a comfortable style.

but in the big picture

the evolution of the soul level

there is a constancy of distraction

and a different kind

of consensual cultural dismissal

just the same.

it is in the same style of myth

as winning the lottery,

that street cred presumption

over shadows the essential truth.

every handle

of notoriety or uniqueness,

no matter its cause,

is a lottery doom.

it takes you away

from common intimacy with others.

there are assumed schemes

behind every charisma, every face.

it is the exhaust fumes

from our subjective reality swoon.

we all use handles as abuse

and mindlessly gloss it over.

we even give it service

as an acceptable disguise,

crux to our own expectations.

we short cut label others.

we sacrifice the collective

for ‘self’ economy.

we keep personal agendas

almost as a wardrobe.

we hobby our likes and dislikes

for a sense of being

but ‘handle with care’

is really a non sequitur means.
