I found success, he says Over and over and over again. I found success. I found success. He’d wanted to win the Nobel Prize too, Also repeating over and over I’ll win the Nobel Prize. I’ll win the Nobel Prize. As if it were a mantra Reminding himself Of who he wanted to be Where he wanted to go. He repeats many things over and over What he eats every day Where he walks every day How furiously he writes How furiously he talks How furiously he scowls And yells at the contrary. He’s convinced himself of many things He’s convinced himself he’s headed To the Nobel Prize To the greatness he deserves Or rather, that he is If he just keeps scratching away The same pace every day The same, the same Same same, same same.
