*****
you read
biographies
with a completely new eye
the day life threatens
to turn you into one
suddenly you ask yourself
(go ahead, reader
try this yourself):
who are they
going to interview
for
their
material?
hmmmmmmmm???… … …
think about it
(go ahead)
your
relatives?
(even
those
relatives?…)
ooh.
well then,
ex lovers…?
ooooh.
ouch.
um —
“colleagues” (read
lifelong competitors)?
oh, good lord
wait —
who’s even left
to interview?
only the proverbial
best friend
ah, maaaaan…
