wanting > having
the wanting is always better
than the having…
everyone wants the big job
but when you gotta live the grind,
that’s when you start to
tear yourself up inside…
sure, we all want to get laid,
but what’s the first thing we do
after we climax?
we jump in the shower
and wash it all away
and get pizza…
and speaking of pizza,
a nice hot delivery
is always a great idea,
until about the fourth slice,
and then all you look forward to
is the fucking toilet…
the wanting is always better
than the having…
hell, I wanted a PhD
until the time came
to actually do the science…
see, I liked asking the questions
and coming up with ideas,
but hell if I ever had the will
to crunch the numbers
and actually learn the answers…
I wanted you to know me,
wanted my name on the lips
of people all around the world,
human beings actually waiting
with bated breath
for new words from me,
until the very fact of having
notoriety became a prison
in itself…
the breathless crush
is always more fun
than the domestic rut…
the glitzy showroom floor
beats the day-in day-out,
up-and-down of the garage door,
washboard abs and killer pecs
look stellar in the pictures,
but when you experience
the reality of what it takes
to build them, you start to feel
more machine than man…
your chronically unsatiated
fandom and loyalty
for your favorite
basketball team is so much
more personally gratifying
than living through the days
and weeks after…
