ONE WORD
- MEDIOCRE
I’ve been called and thought
to be many things: strange,
creative, late, out of focus,
but the one criticism which
would really hurt, would be
to be called, “mediocre” - as
mediocre as boiled potatoes.
mediocre as boiled potatoes.
Does everyone have one word,
one label that would really hurt -
like “failure” or “passe”, or “can’t
trust" or the worst, “mediocre”,
aimed at us by someone with
a squeezed and squinched nose -
with a Pharisee sneer.
