    I am that song you hum
    Before you realize that it was secretly
    About killing baby pandas
    Or something

    I am the tweet that was tweeted
    Before anyone questioned
    The validity
    Of its existence

    I am the club you go to
    To hear the enlightened thoughts
    Of your loved ones
    Shouted at decibels
    That make dogs bark

    Jason bought cases upon cases
    Of 'age-less' body lotions

    Not knowing
    That some day

    The rest of his body would be
    shriveled and gray

    Except his-

    Thousands of years ago
    The Sahara desert
    Wasn't a desert at all
    But a swampy wetland

    Then a drought to end all droughts came
    Humans accustomed to water
    Fish and other sources of food
    Had to look harder

    Humans
    Huddled in caves
    Watching the world dry out

    They had a choice
    Get moving

    Or wait it out

    She was a pastor
    She was pregnant

    And she snapped
    At me

    Flailing my eyes wildly
    Not sure if she was joking
    Forcing a double take

    My toothpaste
    Is trying to grow back the enamel
    Of my sink

    The Egyptians thought that Pharaohs
    When they died and placed in their tombs
    Would break free and climb through a various series of tests
    And live eternally

    They also thought that a person's personality
    Was entirely different
    From their body
    Or even their soul
    No one could ever take that away from you

    In 'real' life Shakespeare was a criminal
    Named Borgue
    who hoarded grain
    and cut off fingers

    while writing eloquent
    soliloquies on his balcony

    then throwing an apple
    at Phillipe
    so he moves a little faster
    plowing next season's crop

    I'm proud of my humility
    It's my best feature
    I tell it to all I know
    Slipping through the cracks of society
    Ever so loudly

    You can't trust someone who is prideful
    That is why I have become so humble
    I tell it to all I know
    Then I rattle on down the street
    And wave to all I see

    Confidence:
    (n) Knowing you have
    at least one purpose in life
    that society values
    and brings you fulfillment

    -Happiness
    -Direction

    It was funny
    When he traveled
    People would ask where he was from
    He would say 'America'

    One Argentinian called him out
    For applying his country to the rest of the Americas

    His friend would say he was from Mexico
    It was technically true
    Though he moved to California
    When he was three
    And had been a United Statesian since
