after reading "The Little Prince"

From the seeds I sow,
no flowers grow;
and even baobabs have fowers.

My ears are too long
and for me the stars sing no song
though I could be tamed in just a few hours

So EVERYONE I know is depressed? Is that how this works?

I'm not depressed! It's a lymric. If I was depressed, there'd be a ballad or a sonnet. The poem is constructed so that people who know me and not the book would interpret it one way and those that only know that book would interpret it in a way quite contrary to the first.

Oh. Okay. I know the book better than I know you. I guess I jumped to conclusions.
