sorry to bring this up
but the new thing you’re about to say
actually is not
maybe it’s rude of me
to say this
but after engaging in several years of extensive research
you will hang your head
having thought you could say something
for the first time
you will carry the heavy knowledge
that fifty years or a hundred and fifty
or five hundred or a thousand
or three thousand years ago
some living and breathing mammal
said it all in a way
more elegant and true
than the way you will
but life is short
and this is the time that you are alive
so don’t let those old dead fuckers
stop you from trying
Hell, yeah.
