Twelve Views

(hey, check this out,

shutter sound click-click) I set the ring light by the bed

Recorded something inspirational

“Never quit and chase your dreams”

Then took nine naps from being tired

I posted twice, refreshed the screen

My mother liked it immediately

My cousin wrote, “That’s crazy,

bro”

I think he comments that on everything

I’m an influencer for twelve people Four are bots and one is

evil I go viral in my living room Then celebrate with instant

noodles Influencer for twelve people My engagement’s microscopic But I’ve got merch

and a podcast Nobody requested either topic (yeah,

nobody asked!) I filmed a morning-routine clip Then edited out the part

I slipped I rented someone else’s car And wrote,

“Hard work changes everything”

A brand contacted me today

They offered half a protein shake In exchange for twelve professional posts

And permanent rights to my face (half a shake,

what a deal!) Maybe numbers aren’t the measure

Maybe twelve can still be real If one stranger hears my nonsense

And feels less alone,

that’s a deal

I’m an influencer for twelve people Small but beautifully delusional When I

hit thirteen, throw a party We’re going moderately global (woohoo,

global dominance!)
