The Myth

β€œdon’t speak

like that to

your brother”

but if he said

what i said

wouldn’t you

laugh?

and when he

doesn’t listen as

fast as he should,

you simply

give him time

but i

must

be immediate

and i

must

be

perfect

and when

i can’t be

i am not favored

and when

i can

you favor

him?

and perfection

is the goal

but perfection

is the myth,

and while

lacking a favorite

is the goal

that is like wise

the myth
