The Vanity of Influence Influence Do you ever think about the way that you influence others? Perhaps somewhere, someone in this world masturbates and thinks of you Lies awake and wonders About marrying you Daydreams stuck in traffic thinking of the sexual encounter they had with you The first time perhaps yours or theirs Or maybe the last one What do they think or the current where will it go? Is it a regret? Or a puzzlement… Your actions or time as we know it does not run in reverse nor can it be started again. So I ask you How have I influenced you? 1:00am 10/13/98 David
