LEGACY

“It is your destiny!” Darth Vader, The Empire Strikes Back

at me again
about all the time
on my hands

call it
free time
(corporate
joke whose
punchline I
don’t get)

spending time
killing time
writing ace poetry
winning
at Mah Jong

when I could be
working more profitably
making nuclear weapons

filling covering
the planet with them
to express
my innate sense
of manifest destiny

fireworks display
for the ages as you
would have
to agree

closest thing to the Big Bang
could me my huge legacy
