there were these people
on the ground,
they were reaching up their
arms and trying to pull me
down
but
they couldn't do
it. I felt like pissing on
them.
they were so
jealous.
all they had to do was
to work their way
slowly up to it
as I had
done. such people think
success grows on
trees. you and I,
we know
better.
