GloPoWriMo 2018 - day thirty

Today the prompt is to write a poem based on one of a given section of weird facts. Today is also the end of this year's challenge.

All swans are owned by the queen.

this is something i have always known, and being, from a young age
the sort of child who was passionate about animals and matters
green and ecological, i also always felt that if I were to accidentally
kill a swan i would need to report myself to the police for doing so,
but this view was ridiculed by all who heard me express it, and i was
made to feel stupid and inept and awkward because i had a sense
of principle about things, and of course as life as has progressed i have
learned the sad but true fact that people in general whilst normally being
relatively honest are also all too keen to 'get one over' on others or
to escape the consequences for their actions especially if those
actions were or are illegal or immoral, and this odd quirk of being
a normal human is a quirk that i do not share and because i do not
share it i have realised that i am not a normal human at all, but a
very abnormal one who does not work according to the standard issue
operating instructions, and that this weirdness in me is the reason for
so much about me and my life that for so long made no sense at all but
now is starting to and so it is not the fact of the ownership of swans
that is weird at all
