The Shining

Yo Steve-0
?Que paso?

You are rich and famous
I am a pauper

People love your words.
They abhor mine.

You will never want to
sit down for a second
and talk with me.

Because your better man. Like Eddie Vedder, man.
and I would guess that you know it.

I never read your books.
They make me sick from 
the compulsion you show.
