"Have A Sense Of Humor"

People are dramatic these days.

Artists wear scarves and slap
their hands against their canvases,
proclaiming something like "no one
knows my genius!" They laugh at
people who make money and gather
around the soup kitchen.

Writers drink their coffee or their
red wine and smoke and think " no
one understands me." They look at
the artists and mock them for
being "tortured souls." Writers
will always offer the spelling of
a word, even when you didn't ask.

And there's the Investment Bankers,
who laugh over fourteen dollar vodka
and cranberry drinks when the writer
says "We have the most power, the
control over the written word."
Bankers always laugh when you're
trying to be funny, but they never
mean it.

People are so dramatic these days.
Exaggerated.
Super-Imposed.
We are no one special.
Sculptors do not have different
Eyes than me.
Doctors are not God.
