“Don’t judge me
Or my scribbling
I wantneedcrave honesty!”
(but if you don’t like it figure out a diplomatic way
to almost say it)
Open the essay (wow, this blows) and pretend to smile
laugh enjoy the run-ons about something i don’t even
care oh god there are six pages of this worthless crap.
Smile pretty.
“I like it. It’s nice.”
Dick and Jane have more depth than this.
I can see you study my reaction as I read.
Your face is so hopeful, my laughter is
so insincere. I try my hardest to think of
a polite way to tell you to quit while you’re
ahead. I can honestly say that I sugarcoated
the truth.
“Well done,” I say.
I especially loved the part where it was over.
