etiquette

i have taken classes and courses
and seen the ways of the world.
i’ve been places and with people
who have helped me perfect this word.
but etiquette comes from the quality of presentation.
from the way a girl walks
down to the pace of her hips.
how she sits
and how she lets anything touch her pout lips.
etiquette is for the few who know how to have it.
this world is quite filthy,
when you have etiquette
you’re astounding.
