Snaps

Garçon
An order of perception please;
Side of hand mirror.
Additionally,
I'll take a pair of shoes,
Your size fits
For dessert I'll take personal reflection
But no hypocrisy, for it doesn't settle well.

Merci
I wrote this poem after a night of partying with some powdered noses who ranted and raved about other people, who were not present. Talking about people, friends, family, is one thing - we all do it. However, whenever the words that are spouted are laced with ego-centrism and hypocrisy there is no positive outcome to that type of conversation. Not saying I've never done it, but in this moment I realized how childish and pointless this jargon is. It was a nice reminder to remember to think about others realities before you interpret one for them.
