July 15–21 ❘ Korihor
Korihor
What I don’t know,
no one knows.
If I can’t see the future,
no one can.
If anyone exists but me,
they are bit players blocked
into the background of a story
I write, direct, strut, and star in.
And if I’m temporarily dumbstruck,
I have genius enough
to stage a comeback.
I can still connive, conspire,
beg my way to one more encore
before the final curtain cuts
my speeches into oblivion.
My words will yet be
engraved in history.
Just wait and see.
