I know a moustache
by Laurel Snyder
I know a moustache, a real
piece of work. Have you
met him?
Lanky, sweaty, in his
girlfriend's jeans, he calls attention
to calling attention to himself.
He screams, “Hey there!
Here I am, a fucking moustache!
I'm the biggest damn moustache
you'll ever see! I'm intense!
I have a gritty mind, a huge
sense of irony, but an earnest
need for love. Oh, I'm special,
a complicated bit of grooming.”
God, I hate that moustache. He
thinks he's so smart. I want
to tell him that self-awareness
doesn't solve anything. Knowing
you're ugly doesn't make you hot.
Some things you can't decorate.
I really loved this. It seems silly and mysterious at first and left me with a chuckle at the last line. I was envious that i couldn't grow a mustache until I read this. Really great work!
Humourous and surly... what's not to love about that?
Love this! Made my morning.
Thank you!
