Playing God

in

 

Today I am going to kill something. Anything.

I have had enough of being ignored and today

I am going to play Elune. It is an ordinary day,

a sort of grey with boredom stirring in the roads.

 

I squash a bug against the window with my thumb.

we did that at school. In Darnassus.

I breathe out talent on the glass to write my name.

I am a genius. I could be anything at all, with half

the chance. But today I am going to change the world.

something’s world. The cat avoids me. The cat

knows I am a genius, and has hidden itself.

 

I pour the fish down the well.

For signing on. They don’t appreciate my autograph.

 

There is nothing left to kill. 

I get the bread-knife and go out.

the roads glitter suddenly. I touch your arm.
