"It's All About Him" - prose poem


It's All About Him
---- Big Frank Dickinson

He called himself on the phone, but his self did not answer because he was preoccupied with selfish thoughts about himself, which caused him to ignore the call from himself. He became upset at having his call go unanswered and refused to leave a message, which he later regreted because he had blocked his own number not wanting himself to know how interested he was in himself.

Of course, he knew who had called anyway - that's when he always called, but refused to call himself back. He wouldn't give himself the satisfaction.

I guess he looks at that mirror when calling becomes too slow. That mirror is like the phone call on an infinite speed boost. Instant and constant rejection of himself
