Locutus

 

They remain single

Waiting on The one

 

I remain single

Tired of Them all

 

Cookie cutter

Stereotypes

Across the board

Spanning both sides of the spectrum

I can introduce you to many in the middle

 

I'm sure

In my difference amongst the unique

I still am rather strange

But

Still the same

 

No

I have never met you

Before

 

I don't need a TI-183

To calculate your place on the graph

I've been there

I know there.

 

Just because

You Realize

You are a different point

Inhabit a different plane

You think you are special

Not seeing

You are just a far off dot

That makes up

The same

Flat

Line

 

One of many

That describes your two dimensional existence

 

You are unique in that

You are not

The one

And can not see

You are

One of many

 

Your designation might as well be

3 of 10

7 of 9

 

You think its

1 in a million

The reality is

The harder you try

The more you bang your head

You prove yourself to be

Just the same as any

 

1 of the billions

 

In truth

There is no

One

 

Only the

One

Is

The Someone

We choose to make

It

Work with

 

Go ahead and wait for prince charming

Make a bet on the day he never comes

Search for

Your prince

Hunt down

Your unicorn

Your one

 

Taking the time to discover

Self

Is only coded talk for lonely.

 

You must have a husband/wife

By the age of

You must have a kid and plan one to come

by the age of

You must have two cars

by the age of

You must have a home in the suburbs that looks like all the rest

By the age of

You must have a high paying career that will pay you better when you retire

By the age of

 

This the plan for your life

According to

This should be the plan for everyone’s life

So says

 

Anything else

Any form of deviation or resistance to said plan

 

Is futile.
