George Clooney's Watch

[almostzero]

We are prepared to accept
Certain levels of worthlessness
And continue to meet your demands.

However
If you are to remain worthless
You must present yourself in a way
So that you will not appear worthless
To our friends and peers.

And as we are friends and peers
To our friends and peers
You must appear valuable to us.

If we remember you are not
We will despair
As we despair even as we etch these demands
Into our credit cards
This lucidity pains us
And I have just had to glance long and hard
At the dark, sensitive eyes of George Clooney
Who cherishes his every moment with his new watch
Just as I cherish his every moment with my new watch
Which is very similar to his new watch
But not his watch.
