3/30/2003

Having the mind
of
a rapacious
adolescent boy
without the patience
to equate
the next day
with tomorrow
he had to have
what he wanted
now
or not at all.
Complexity
was sorted
with a sword
that denied
every hitch and twist
was a life
not just an impediment
to the acquisition
of everything on
his wish list.
It was inevitable
after extensive conquests
that
he die young.
When there was
no more to take
life was
no longer fun.
