not even close to being over. Zone
the cans, phone senators—it’s every day,
the grind, the wind, the power plays behind
closed doors. You’re Frank Sobotka, you’ve got this.
You’ve learned how to disguise a heart that’s lined
with huge-ass pillows full of feathers. Kiss
the bills that made you who you are. They taste
like victory. A picture of those girls

your fingers from around that box of glass.
You’ve got this. You’re Sobotka. Kick some ass. 

Oh come ON, Wilcox. Like I don’t already think you’re awesome enough.
