I play as your superior

Posterior to your needs

The pride this feeds in me

I see as necessary to my

Self worth

Woolworths selling garments

Appliances

Blind dances with prearranged lines

Of fine wine discounted

Un-recounted tragedies

I imagine these days

Playing court to fantasies

Seeing myself my vanities

Gentle as an Everglades manatee

Getting cut up chopped

By the powerboats’ props

What the hell am I doing

Carrying water to the elephant

I need to find myself but I can’t

So I shuffle pick up boxes

Feed the neighbor foxes

Locks need fixing

My pride tricking me into awaking

I thank god for taking the time

Spending His dime

Seems like I’m working all the time
