Egotism


from the ABC set After the Storm (pre-2004)

Egotism

He walks like he owns the world,
As if Death couldn't touch him,
As if tomorrow was certain,
And Love guaranteed for him,
And sight and sound and touch and smell were mere trivialities
Not to be bothered with -
He doesn't need them
Because the world belongs to him.
