Line up for labeling!

People walk like zombies
down a bleach white hall
Stopping momentarily
to get one of the two labels.

Players to the left!

Stay Heres to the right!

Turn your head left,
you'll find the
emotionally desolate

Turn your head right
you'll find the
emotionally reliable.

You step up to the white table
and wait for your category

Player or Stay Here?

This was inspired by a comment I posted on a poem and it really got me thinking about the good people to date and the bad people to date.
