stop and think


by bofa xesjum





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
