When you wear nice shirts
And glasses
People listen
And what you say sounds smart.
They are all good ideas,
And you're always right.
When you have piercings
And tattoos
Everything you say has a fucking attitude
And you're looking for a problem,
And you're lookin' for something to steal,
And you are an asshole
Who is trying to be tough.
When your eyes are all watery and bloodshot,
You're useless,
You are a joke,
You have no reason to be here.
Stop talking.
When you talk slowly,
You're not smart.
People laugh.
You're not paying attention.
You're retarded.
When you are quiet.
Something is wrong.
What is the matter?
You're hiding something.
When you are different.
You're interesting.
People want to talk to you about dumb shit.
When you are tired.
You don't want to continue thinking of things to write.

Very true. First impression is what we all do. You're submitting stuff to the literary magazine, right?
