Measuring Devices

When you measure
your Self,
what sort of device
do you use?

A mirror?
You’re joking, right?
That’s like measuring
the speed of light
with a random
bit of string
you found in
your pocket.

Your To Do List?
Your Tax Return?
Your 5-Year Plan?

For God’s sake
I hope it’s not
someone else’s
Instagram.

Think of the
last time you
laughed yourself
breathless.

Now use that
to measure
the silliness
of measuring
your Self.
