EMPTY-HANDED

The skull
ring
is not you

But it is
I'm tough
I'm cool

And
by the way
just for your information

It's not for
anyone else
but me

How is it
not me
not even a little

I can pull it off
no one will find it odd
it's a splinter of my person

Maybe you're right
maybe you know me
better than I know myself

Maybe I am
pretending
to be better than I am

So I walk
out of the store
empty-handed
