You’re so Talented

This is an insult to the hours.

I am not special

I am ruthless

I seek truth like it

hurts me to do less.

My art is more

than mere minutes

I bore into it

I just love to write

to rhyme when they tell me not to

love to find that kernel of proof

that grain of sand they took

with my word. My mind is driven—

not by destiny, but by pride

Skill is more than

talent over time
