A self potrait

Most people want to be huge
But I want to be powerful.

Where some puff themselves up
I condense
I coagulate until I am stronger
Like Uranium

Where some create empires of life
And write bragging rights down to inspire
I give not a damn about greatness
Understanding is far more explanatory

The French invent all of the cool words
Yet they remain reviled by men with buck teeth and straw hats
And douche bags that don't like France.
I think of all these thoughts
Yet nothing seems to be happening
