Here’s how
we’ll break our standoff:
You call the shots,
elect your own board of directors,
write a book and be famous,
tell me how it should be done.
Just give me a pair of shorts
and, oh, about fifty bucks.
Give me a few good years
with a girl named Karla,
a French / Indian / Spanish / worldwise girl
living in the Caribbean .
Remember, life’s just numbers:
I’ll get her and trade you
my lousy little point.
Think of it,
a penny’s worth of paradise
for maximum control,
all the myocardial infarctions
you can handle,
all the CVA’s
you can steal.
I’ll still own
my own ass
100%.
