Us

I am a Cobbler.
And you, a boot.
Together we are a meandering mountain trail.

I am a baker.
And you, a croissant.
Together we are a final meal for a prisoner on deaths row for serial rape.

I am a King,
And you, a hamlet.
Together we are conglomerate of chartered companies joined in union on a quest for riches unimaginable and power untold.

I am a teacher,
And you a student.
Together we are a people forced together by the lottery of life and thrown into an institution that promotes self masturbation and ruthless greed at the cost of happiness and peace for those both immediately near and impossibly far.

I am your admirer.
And you, my love.
Together we are futile.

I am worthless.

I am a joke.

I am...

but I wish I were not...
