1. Polite lunch conversation at the office

I’m not a racist, but…. 
 Oh yes!! I can’t wait for what [bad word] now. 
 Please, please: surprise me! 
 Which of the predictable platitudes will follow next? 
 Something with crime statistics I bet - your false confirmation of ‘proof’. 
 The propaganda of senseless figures 
 Leaving out history, class, economic injustice, state racism and the [bad word] violence embedded in society. 

 I’m not a racist but… 

 And yes - please, please add to that, 
 that one of your best friends is black 
 and how you just love exotic cuisine and kebab. 

 Go on, tell me, tell me. 

 And at another day, there is another chance 
 And here we go again: 
 ‘I have nothing against women but you have to admit some girls ask for it.’ 
 Yes! Go on! Say it! Say it! 
 Say how it is all their fault, 
 how it is their clothes, how they were at the wrong time in the wrong place. Asking -of course - they are simply asking to get harassed! 

 Go on, push me, push me over the edge 
 and with every word from you 
 there is less reason for me to hold back, 
 less reason to remain my sanity. 
 I’m almost there. 
 Every word is one step closer 
 to me losing [bad word] and legitimately 

 And if you are lucky, 
 the next thing you know 
 is you on the floor in cigarette buds 
 holding your [bad word] balls.
