How Are You?

Did you see pomposity on your TV screen? I did

or snarl angrily 

at insolent shadows gallivanting along the street?

It's a contest of temperaments and raw emotions 

a matter of will 

proving supremacy while being fearful of defeat. 

Do you dream of success despite being adopted 

with no empathy

as a hitman with a death wish addicted to crime?

Manners are edible like the menu in a restaurant

so try to be kind

and annoy only those waiters you cannot devour. 

Do you collaborate with anxiety when perplexed

in your isolation 

as a reject without any possibility of resurrection?
