don't call me that
and
don't call me
astronaut or

good

provider
businessman
trader
father
lover

all ******* up charges

mark me plainly
Cain stainedly

mark me
just
as plain man

for plain ordinary man,
failure is
an ok option

too bad
some hu-mens
must be
princes and princesses,
even poets too,
and all the rest

*for them,
failure
is no option
Someone called me,
Prince
someone called me
Poet.

At 3:45am
The mirror on the wall
laughed,
calls me cursed
and leaves me
with my hand,
that worn stump,
holding my head
failing to figure out
an answer.
