The Same Seven

Everyone is reading the same 7 books

They are everywhere I go

3 authors

Have all of the current sales

They have

All of our attention

One is a series of smut – I think

And the others are some sort of fantasy – I think

All of the women

With their noses between pages

Lift up their stories

And reveal

The same cover

I don’t usually paint in broad strokes

But I confidently report what I’ve seen out there

And most of these dudes

Are also reading

The same 7 books

Everyone

Feeding

Their brains

The exact same

Shit

Watching the same shows

Checking the same news

And reading the same bullshit

It is enough

To make a self-proclaimed anomaly

Jealous.
