Truth

I can't stand it when people bite their nails

or when children grow up;

I hate to see grown men act

because, frankly, they are bad at it;

I don't like girls who are phonies

or guys who are flits;

I certainly do miss Jane,

but by now I bet she's forgotten me.

As all people will,

as I sip my fifth cup of coffee

and drag on countless cigarettes

and meet exciting hookers

and become a super hero,

I only think of how I like no one

and how no one likes me either.
