transforms every obstacle 
into nourishment

rivals the devotion of
a one-trick pony

with those whose presence makes a
better man of me

and you will hit the target 
almost every time

my donkey army 
will defeat lions because 
i am no donkey

that wolf from my door 
is nose-to-tail beside the
fire in my belly

every step ten thousand times 
my luck will find me

is the rare exception to 
impassioned failure

is preserving my power 
to prioritize
