Oh, to be a narcissist
is to be
oblivious to being wrong
oblivious to making a mistake
oblivious to making slip ups
oblivious to inadvertently offending someone

Oh, to be a narcissist
is even to be
oblivious to apologizing for being apologetic

Oh, to be a narcissist
means
no longer having to say I’m sorry
no longer having to say It was my fault
no longer having to say Ah, my goof
no longer having to say My bad

Oh, to be a narcissist
even means
not saying Oops

Ode to a narciss─
Oops, my typo
sorry
Oh, to be a narcissist
