After I mentioned,
the famed style of the shirt I unwrapped,
a Steve Jobs shirt.

Who is Steve Jobs?

He was a common sort of child, birthed after
war's final bid proved life
must plan to survive by
thinking different. Difference is what holds reality in place.

That was his job.
Wearing black longsleeved tees, just reminds me,
I agreed
to make different thinking thingamabobs as

teaser quests best seen in mere words,
he helped me think
differently, for a while,
pirates were a little bit cool,
late eighties, it was all business after that,
thieves and scoundrels willing to sell sugar water,

rather than finish the task;
but Steve Jobs was born to make people

realize
we can think different and still have fun

smashing threating dammers of free flown streams

on a zeitgeistical level so far past those stupid
documentaries

it is said, none dare call treason nor con spiracy for

lack of any common sensible handle
on such social constructs,

made slippery, by god, to let little wonders slip

through to you.

You actually just thought different,
because Steve did his **** job.
Stylin' for the holiday, I look like a thousand other guys, watching the snow melt on the runway.
