King of Something - March 23, 2026

some rule a country

some rule a kitchen

a goatherder lords over his goats

a butterfly has province in the air

a farmer his fields

one wolf reigns over the pack

 

singers have dominion over notes

a comedian wears a crown of jokes

a mother is queen to careless princes

and dreaming princesses and a

father decrees at the end of

his work day - I’m home

 

think about it, if each of us is unique

it seems inevitable that we’ll gain authority

over at least one thing in our lives,

 

because

I am the King of Hopeful Endings
