the small print

you never see
the small print
on anyone.
you see the large
letters
the obvious
statement
of who they are,
or want
to be.
the details
are carefully
hidden
in tiny printed
words,
dense, compact,
safely
tucked away
on the bottom
of the back
last page
and it's
not always
a pleasant
surprise what
you find
there, in
the end.
