Pretend That It Is Not Important, ....

to something that you do not want to lose
give it
its non-importance, take it for granted,
no one minds it, no one likes to take it,
it stays,
no one is interested, because you make it
not interesting,
so? you'll keep it for years
and it will be yours,

what we take as important
they will always consider taking it away from you
the secret is in the pretenses

when you are ready to dispose it
everyone begins taking other things from you

this pain thing, this motive to inflict pain
this is what they always want to do.
