i saw a sign and it read

A PERSON THAT IS MEAN

TO THE WAITER

IS A MEAN PERSON

 

i thought of you with your high cheekbones,

the sense of entitlement unparalleled,

the superiority complex that hid much

 

you had a gig and

it had probably worked on someone

but your gig was and is

a  trick

faced w/ something that mattered

or a mark,

there is the perfect smile

otherwise, watch the spirit shift

quick

click

slick

flick

and

trick

there goes

see it?

 

it is said that Gurdjieff was known

to approach famous, well polished people

 

he would whisper something like

YOU HAVE A GOOD PERSONALITY,

A GOOD PERSONA,

A GOOD MASK

 

but I am not Gurdjieff

i just waited it all out and you came to pass in time

i admit there are no cheekbones like that anywhere

but i 'tell you true,'

you are still mean,

like the sign says

the waiter knows it

i know it

i think Gurdjieff  even knows it

maybe in some place

you might know it too
