getting out the magnifying glass

there's a reason

for the small print on the contract,

on the labels

of cans

and packages

at the market.

the warranties,

the marriage

and divorce decrees.

the lawyer specializes

in small print,

so does the car

salesman,

the loan officer,

the bank officer

and the real estate

agent.

it's because the small

print

reveals everything

they don't want

you to know.

it's in their best interest

for you not to read.
