Modern Protocol

Have no opinion.

Discuss nothing.

Talk about nothing.

Don’t be original.

Give one sentence feedback.

Be offended by conversation.

Feel good.

Don’t feel bad.

Don’t try to initiate conversation.

Be dull.

Be offended.

 

There was a cake in my fridge.

It was masterful.

It needed some cinnamon blueberry pie filling and cool whip.

If my writing is vanilla,

What I get you to think about is the pie filling and cool whip.

 

I wish it wasn’t a fault of mine

To interpret what other people say.

I also wish it wasn’t a fault of mine

To try and socialize.

But, it feels better to be social…

Happier even.

 

If I’m snubbed,

I’d rather be snubbed

Than to not even try.

In the words of Hemingway,

“Expletive” Modern Protocol.
