Self Appointed Expert – September 2010

Self Appointed Expert

thank you for diagnosing me
your assessment skills
leave a lot to be desired
but then, your validity
has long since expired
and it is a bit rich
for you to say i have no friends
when you sit all day on the internet
trying to tie up loose ends
it really is quite rich
when someone
tells me all about my family
and suggests it is all unspoken
when in their own,
love and conversation is a token
thank you for holding
up your marriage as a mirror
reflection upon its absolute success
for someone who is on their own
i wonder what is really left
thank you for diagnosing me
even though you are too cold –
to find out who i am
has anyone ever said how rude you are
or how you do not understand
