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.

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.
