Asterisk
you try to make something
important when it really isn’t---
and you find yourself starring things
and placing special little symbols
like when you tell your friends all
of the key points on why you are
dating so and so or why it is that you
have stayed at a job for so long or
why it is that you haven’t really
had any kind of personal growth
for years or why you have that gut
or why you got that plastic surgery
or why you tan in the winter months
or why you buy 10 million pairs of
shoes or why it is that you go to
the gym to try and beef up yourself
or why you pretend you know how
to do things that you really don’t
when you are talking to someone that
you think is more important than they
really are and then you know the
cycle begins again---make sure to place
an asterisk next to it.
