asterisk

list of things to do: *make something sound important that surely isn’t.

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.
