It won’t be pretty. Reader ADVISORY
I say again as I
watch another fly

drop

Another timeline. Full stop

Out of infinity — Out of existence
Strong minds stand the test of time
The weak flock to Death
like trends

Strength is held, not well-received
by those who try to take it
To force my hand just threaten
my wealth, my health, my discipline

My job isn’t better because it’s public
My mind isn’t bettered when I share it
It takes two to intellect

Hey buddy, holding down thirteen-year-old
Thumbs off the throat. I heard that scream

Pal! it’s a paring knife, drop it
I will let you pass. DROP THE KNIFE
Batons out. Rights need not apply

Why is force efficient?
It requires little time
Why is it ineffective?
It lasts about as long
