I'm still a baller, I'm a swordsman, an old mage, my sorcery goes deep, I'm also a poet, and a mercenary, I used to take, whatever jobs came my way, I buy a lot, on credit, lord knows, I have to pay for it, fear, it used to drive a lot of it, my actions, my reactions, I also used to be in love, I had a good nose for it, and I knew all the right words to say, relationships are all about mind reading, networks, and connections, when you’re having sex, energy is flowing, you are one being, like a many-legged creature, trying to walk sideways, plant your seed, sing a song, say you did it your way, I’m also a tool, the heavens use me as they please, they put me through pain and pleasure, stress, so much stress, they stretch it, as they need to, to as far as it can go, I could be capable of more, heaven knows, I love it when they’re in control, but I have my own thoughts, my own desires, dreams, the heavens have satisfied a lot of them, I grow older each day, season after season, I just want to watch the ocean waves, but there must be a next episode, and I’m still an actor, in this play, I must play my role, my character, will echo out either way, I have two tickets to Carmen, and my spirit is getting willful, such an old beast, will I be able to control him?
