I don’t know what it is that I do well,
But whatever it may be,
I know there is a libertarian who does it better than I do.
I know there is a fraternity member who does it better than I do.
I know there is a straight person who does it better than I do.
I know there is a Penn State graduate who does it better than I do.
I know there is a Floridian who does it better than I do.
I know there is a Comcast executive who does it better than I do.
I know there is a Hummer lessee who does it better than I do.
I know there is a Ke$ha fan who does it better than I do.
I know there is an evangelical who does it better than I do.
I do not know these people by their names,
But I know that I am often nothing special.
Or, as Margaret Atwood might have it, “I am not the favorite child.”
