Ego Verticalis
One damp morning I saw a line so beautiful
I thought
baby
you shall be mine
cleaned and drilled
cursed and swore
you were new born
my excitement was great
smeared and crimped
pinched and jammed
I tell you
it is the finest in the country
you are now forever mine
and your name is Balls in Chlorine
the grade is actually 5.12d
but I give you 5.12a
so others will be confused
I will seem better than all
they shall tremble, sweat, bleed, cry and fall
my Ego shines like a sun
I am the strongest here on earth
bend yourself over in chalk dust, you poor hangdogs
here climbs the world's Eighth Wonder
