kelli and jerri were best friends
they went everywhere together and did everything together
one day jerri said to kelli
i do not wish to be your friend any more
why not? , kelli asked
because when you have style you have no substance, jerri answered
and when you have substance you have no style
i am sorry you feel that way, said kelli
and they went their separate ways
kelli got a job at a dollar store and stayed there for many years
as jobs are not easy to find in today’s economy
jerri became the most famous pop star in the world
an enterprising journalist learned of the pair’s early friendship
and went to the dollar store and interviewed kelli
why did you break up with jerri?, the journalist asked
jerri told me that i did not know the difference
between transcendence and taxonomy, kelli said
jerri was shown a copy of the interview
by one of her many assistants and satellites
i never said that! jerri cried
