Everyone Pretentious Pretends Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Pretending not to be pretentious,
In an environment amongst those...
Who value their impressions to make,
Is a position someone takes...
To be different.
But no one notices this.
Since everyone pretentious,
Pretends they are not faking.

'I just absolutely LOVE,
That outfit you are wearing.'

~You said that same thing to me yesterday,
When I saw you in the mall.~

'But we weren't amongst,
Our dearest 'friends' then.
Now were we? '
