Roman Numbers

Happiest are those who do the most for others.
Booker T had it right.

Didn't worry bout getting respect.
Although he earned it in the end.

Deserving nothing.
Certainly no made up American dream.

The kind that must be bought.
Or begged for.

Dream about stolen songs and wise women.
This court is in session.

Dropped by the wine bar and sat by the fire.
Winter still chilling the night.

Like those Roman numbers.

The minute hand movements.
Smooth and constant.

Never been older than right now.
A statement that is always true.
