I am superior

when I forget
I am superior
the second hand never clasps into a clap
and the molasses freezes. no muffins for you.

when I forget
I am superior
reaction times increase to the shattering of esteem
shocked and slammed into the airbag of friendship

when I forget
I am superior
vulgar vulgar vulgarity slips through the carbon dioxide filter
profanity as if, like, slang

when I forget
I am superior
revenge. I will drive that bomb across the border myself if need be
violennnnnnnnnnnnnce is golllllllllllllllllden

when I forget
I am superior
I cave in to the temptation of my protective shell
and rationality becomes the clothes I threw in the basket last night

when I forget
I am superior
life goes on, but I don’t move from the hesitation I inhabit
they win, temporarily. then I remember

I am superior
I am superior
I am superior
I am superior
I am superior
I am superior
I am superior
