if i was smart
which i am most certainly not
i would get in the ad game
and be a creative
and wear shoes with no socks
and work out during lunch
with the frat boys and
happy hour with the ladies
and smoke leaning up against
the valet stand
waiting for him to
return my four by.
but what sort of example
is that for the kids.
who try so hard to keep it real.
even if its exactly the same
as all the other new originals
from days gone by.
i stood in line and ordered
a big mac no onion no pickle
and in a few minutes i had
my value meal and i sat down
and i finished dan fantes
spitting off tall buildings.
and i realized i now needed
a new book to read.
so i asked the kids what
theyd recommend.
and they nearly died.
so i picked at my teeth
wondering if a sesame seed
was glistening from the sun.
but no. they laughed at me.
just me.
