I don’t want to be the next Hemingway
I don’t want to box in a ring
I’ll box wherever
I prefer the rope to the shotgun

I don’t want to be the next Bukowski
I don’t want to rely on drink to write
I’ll write whenever
I prefer the anonymousness of the crowd to the king of one

I don’t want to be the next Hamson
I don’t have the madness because of the hunger
I’ll scream at whoever
I prefer the madness to the sanity of the norm

I don’t want to be the next Pessoa
I don’t have a book of disquiet because my worlds disquiet
I’ll keep it peaceful while loading the clips
I prefer the screams of the superficial to the glum scribbles of the benign

I don’t want to be the next Lennon but
I want to be a working class hero
I’ll sign autographs outside the Dakota
I prefer the legends deaths to the nobodies deaths
