Less Coffee, Checkers, and Other Drugs

May 8, 2014

So spit at me.

And Color me blind

Sing me deaf

Label me crazy.

 

Do what you will.

For now.

 

But know that each:

Comment

Quip

Insult

You think is adding to my tumult,

Is only giving me fuel.

Fuel to fight the impending duel

Which I know waits for me

Each day.

 

Not you.

You’re not that imposing,

Sure your grandeur is enclosing

But on a grander scale

You’re merely a pawn.

Life’s pawn.

In Life’s fucked up game of checkers mixed with Twister

That not even Life knows the rules to.

 

So, go ahead, spit way.

For all I know,

 

This is how you play.
