I want to find the guy
who invented sex
and ask him
what he’s working on now.
– James Ellroy
***
Who would you want to be
if you could be anybody?
I’d want to be a guy
who excels
in the most difficult conditions.
***
Watching the Tour de France
as I think this.
Day started it was 95 degrees
four mountain climbs
looked like skyscrapers those hills.
Started to hail at the finish.
***
Let me rephrase my answer.
I’d want to be a guy
who is an athletic tall handsome
billionaire
who excels all the time
whatever the scene.
***
All the time
with excellent genes
on both sides.
Who dies old
and still good looking.
