Is there any room for it?
Is it even ethical if it starts with Sin?
It’s certainly out of style,
it may never get back
into America’s good graces again

Slipperiness
is a word that hangs on sincerity
like a rose on a tie dyed tee shirt
worn by the stay at home dad
who home schools his three kids
with three moms
and lives off his dad’s five car washes
that are scattered all over the city

In poetry it’s often used
as a substitute for form,
who needs rhyme and meter
or punctuation even 
when you can rile readers up
with another sad thing
our dear leader has conceived of doing

Sincerity never keeps company 
                                 with a skeptic
who will always question
how you tie your shoes
or how you got red hair
or did the waitress really bring 
you an American flag 
stuck into your cold slaw cup

It is not as innocent as we think,
it takes advantage of unhappiness
and is not afraid to drive off
like a maniac at the first sign
of a sense of humor, we all knew
that eventually it would crack up
