Hide Stupidity Poem by Margaret Alice

Hide Stupidity



Ever walked into your
life feeling estranged,
not willing to do any-
thing required of you

Your brain refusing to
acknowledge a single
term or norm or re-
quirement

Bewildered you wonder
whether you are yourself
or a stranger who will
mess up your life

If you don’t evict the
stranger immediately;
a stranger walked into
my office this morning

If given freedom, I’ll lose
my job, she refuses to do
anything – worse is, she
doesn’t understand

A word of my document,
looks at it as if seen for the
first time, I must hide her
existence for fear of

Embarrassment, can’t people
see she looks different from
me, why do I have to hide her
stupidity so assiduously?
