A motto or mantra or
Sales pitch. That’s what we do.
We sell things and other people
and ourselves by the unwaveringly,
prevailing idea that we are
special. But we are
not and you could die and I could
die and so could
Tom Hanks.
And I am the sun but not because
I am special but because
I have no allegiance to
anyone and no plans or intentions.
And no one expects something horrible
they’ve heard about to happen
to them.
Do you think Tom Hanks did?
And that girl that wanted to be a writer,
now she is a phlebotomist.
How do you get into phlebotomy?
Anyone could be anything but what do
you think Tom Hanks wanted to be?
And the white guy from Ohio or the
baby in China my mom was going to
adopt before she had me?
How do you get into phlebotomy?
I miss the embrace of many different
souls and the way they smell my
hair and that’s something I don’t usually need
but now I do and you can tell me
that I’m blue but I am also yellow and red and
these words are stuck In my head more
than they’ve ever been and Tom Hanks
has more money than any of us can dream.
But how do you get into phlebotomy?
