Misunderstandings

“All words are made up.” – The Mighty Thor

Journey with me into “Mystery: 
Something that is difficult or impossible to explain.”
Like people using a redundant word
that contains the word they need to use

Used in a poem:

The supervisor said, “irregardless,
you need to do better”
The word hung between us like a mirror
and I saw the monster of my superiority complex

Reptar, prepared to stampede
and wreck this minimum wage job
but the spectre of rent 
haunted the beginning of the calendar

I try to do better
bring home another check
