how to by unknown
speaking of a
write about writing
make lists
calls to action
nice font easy access
not too smart, stupid
remember who you’re talking to
oh yeah the barely literate
with credit card in hand
and some sex tape chick
framed hung above the mantel
like an airbrushed JFK
don’t digress don’t meander
never never ask them to think
just tell them what they need do
buy now subscribe tell a friend
when what you really want to say is
fuck you you moron
what the fuck are you thinking
don’t buy this shit go read a book
turn off the screen
go kiss someone special
discover how sweet is
desert air dawning
plant a seed count your blessings
anywhere but here
where dignity’s for rent
words steal moments from your life
meaningless time-sucking vampires
in the service of a sale
Another powerful piece from the Las Vegas Missed Connections. This one was originally posted years ago, but it’s just as relevant today (if not more so). You don’t need to live in Vegas to feel the truth in these words.
