Instructions for Disappearing

Your eyes widen,

Your mouth drops,

Then a question leaves your lips.

Oh?

You wonder where I came from?

I see,

You saw me appear out of nowhere,

No wonder you're shocked.

Oh?

You wish you could become invisible?

Are you sure?

Because I can tell you.

Yes,

It's not a random superpower.

It's a gift,

A talent,

But are you sure,

Are you sure you want to learn it?

It requires a certain condition.

I understand,

Alright,

Please listen closely.

First of all,

Accept an invitation to eat out,

From friends,

Who are very,

Very,

Clueless.

Got that?

Good.

Second,

You eat,

Whatever you like,

You talk,

Whatever you like,

Just have a good time.

The third step,

The final one,

But the most important,

Happens when the check comes around.

If the people around you,

The ones you called your friends,

All want to split the bill,

Don't argue.

There is no point,

You are outnumbered,

They are stubborn,

And very,

Very,

Clueless.

To become invisible,

You need to lie,

About needing the bathroom,

But don't go there,

Go to the hostess,

And pay for your meal,

Your meal alone.

Now,

If you excuse me,

The hostess is back,

And I must pay,

Before I am caught.
