A Short Poem About Failure

Well, you’ve done it now.
You thought you could maintain
your steady diet of successes indefinitely
and you did
until you didn’t.

You didn’t now.

You have been unable to continue
the standard you expected to
at this point.
You should not have been able to
as long as you have
so frankly
your failure has been anticipated.

The only disappointment
is that we have all lost money
on when you would be unable to hold up
to your end of the bargain.
No one thought you’d be able
to hold on so long
so everybody loses.

Way to fuck everybody up.
