GRAVITAS

Fuck you and your fucking gravitas
and the weight of your experience
and the belief in yourself.
Screw your self-imposed dignity
and damn your incredible judgements.

Shut ’em down.
Shut ’em down now.
Act like someone without a stick
rammed deep up your ass
or, coming up,
there’s gonna BE a stick rammed deep up your ass
– five feet long
and splintery.

Your ego means little.
Your definitions of importance just the same.
You may act with importance,
but it’s gotta stop.
Rather, it will stop
else you’ll cross that particular bridge
and the die’ll be cast.
