Things I Almost Wrote
i almost penned
poems that changed the world,
cured cancer,
liberated the oppressed,
and dressed
huddled masses.
i nearly drafted
the unifying theory of everything,
resolved all
quantum ambiguity,
human grief
and god.
but sadly,
i expended all that talent
on trite and puerile
self-deluded drivel
over the significance
of you to me.
