I wish upon a shining star,
I wish we could be who we are.
My love's so pure, my love's so true.
Right now I am in love with you.


Or not.
It's satirical, did you get that?
Probably not,
because you're too busy
sitting in your apartment
smirking about the irony of
The Old Man and the Sea
and how all art
is soulless prostitution.

And it's okay. Sometimes,
We'll pretend
that your life is worth more than five-dollar weed
and
you'll laugh because it's so -
Ironic, isn't it?

It's symbolic.
Or not. Enjoy the rest of your life.
