We have to accept the things
we cannot change, they say.
Though I guess I could
overturn this desk in a fit
of spontaneous ecstasy or rage
or something else felt strongly.
I could spin in ridiculous arcs
and destroy this entire museum.
Maybe scientists could coax
electricity from my manic body.
Maybe this could be an answer
to my question of purpose.
