Not A Good Man
I am not a good man
but I'm not a bad man either.
I have a conscience.
Sometimes,
just walking down the street,
I remember a crime
committed thirty years ago
and walk into a telegraph pole.
Double over in pain.
Professionals say to forgive myself
and yet I still commit wilful evil.
When I think it's deserved.
But I know that's not my right.
I adore life.
I get a full on frisson
seeing a plane take off
or a rocket launch
or using my new SSD computer.
