win national geographic spelling bee, reinvent the parachute suit, do something with dinosaurs
why is this shit in caps
don't worry, nobody has thebeautiful lady, not really, and
nobody has the strange and
hidden power, nobody is
exceptional or wonderful or
magic, they only seem to be.
it's all a trick, an in, a con,
don't buy it, don't believe it.
the world is packed with
billions of people whose lives
and deaths are useless and
when one of these jumps up
and the light of history shines
upon them, forget it, its not
what it seems, it's just
another act to fool the fools
again.
there are no strong men, there
are no beautiful women.
at least, you can die knowing
this
and you will have
the only possible
victory.

I
clearly
saw
the skeleton underneath
all
this
show
of personality
what
is
left
of a man and all his pride
but bones?
