it's all about me

embarrassed
for being unable
to pronounce
or spell
the word narcissistic
which she
just called you,
you hang up
the phone on somebody
that you hardly
know or care about
even though
you had sex last
night and look
the word up online.
you practice
saying it over
and over again,
looking in
the mirror
flexing
your muscles,
staring at your
handsome face
until someone
knocks
at the door
which makes you
very angry
and petulant.
they don't know
how busy you
are, what important
things you have
to do. let them
wait for
awhile.you repeat
the word again
and again until
you've got it.
