when others are dropping names.
names of people
in the news, people
that they sort of know,
or have met.
celebrities.
the senator,
the actor on netflix.
the athlete,
the famous chef. a former
president.
i stand there silently
while they show me
their autographs, their photos
on their phone.
they have all brushed up
against someone of great
importance,
but have i no one, no
name to drop.
just a cousin in jail who
was in the paper
for a car he stole.
