did you ever stop and think
about all the people
who are not president of the united states
or members of the united states senate
or the head of the world bank
or the chairman of fox network, or of cnn
or who are not serial killers
or homicide detectives
or homeless advocates
or transgender activists
or national football league head coaches
or one of the 3,000 billionaires in the world
or welfare case workers
or graduate students studying the psychology of worms
or graduate students studying the psychology of graduate students
or best selling authors
or uber drivers
or bartenders
or muggers
this list is getting long but it could be longer
but not much longer
because most people are not anything at all
except people
without these people the president of the united states could not be president of anything
uber drivers and cab drivers and bartenders would not have any customers
serial killers would not have anybody to kill
muggers would not have anybody to mug
homicide detectives would not have anybody to read novels and watch tv shows about their exploits
neither would football coaches or billionaires
the chairmen of fox network and cnn would have to wade into the water and try to catch fish with their bare hands instead of eating at the most talked about new restaurants
cab drivers would not have any streets to drive on to pick up private detectives following runaway heiresses or female serial killers
truck drivers would not have any roads to drive on to deliver hamburger patties to los angeles or bottles of mouthwash to portland oregon or folding chairs to indianapolis indiana
life would not be much fun, would it?
that is enough
i am through thinking about it
but i just thought i would for a little while
