Midnight
Sitting
on a Mexican blanket
drinking cocoa and coffee
watching
the waves
crash against the rocks.
Thinking about how
plummeting
into the depths of failure,
surviving,
regrouping,
and charging back,
is more beneficial
than
always
winning.

The prosperous
Old man
Sitting
Behind
His
Oversized
Luxurious
Desk
Meticulously
Crushing
His cigarette
Into the ashtray
Looked at me and said
“Kid
Success is easy
If you desire it
Some do
Some do not
Some are afraid of success
All the self-help
Mumbo Jumbo
Only goes so far
Put
Horse blinkers on
March, March, March
And
March some more
Until
Every muscle
Cannot move anymore”
You now have the fame
Nothing will slow down your train
Why so unhappy?
