the fact alone
that anyone can be doing anything anywhere
makes cigarettes taste delicious
and makes this chair
and this computer
seem perpetually worthless
not even close to alexander the great
conquering the world
or michael phelps
being the greatest swimmer
as-of-yet
so i smoke and i drink
in front of my computer screen
and i think of something epic
i think of something etched in stone
that will make millions of eyes bleed
this pen,
said to be mightier than the sword
is only excalibur when wielded properly
is only worth the swing
by the size of the cut
and i want to cut this world in half.
