Like Brain Surgery Done With A Butter Knife

Like Brain Surgery Done With A Butter Knife

recently
somebody told me 
that total excellence
shouldn’t be the pinnacle
perfection should be where we
proverbially
“set the bar”
that individual said
superb should be considered par
if all this were the case 
imagine
“the bar” 
as an olympic high jump
I would run toward it 
and in my attempt to leap over
I would only collide face-first
with “the bar”
and give myself head trauma

Culpable
