even
a genius must get up
and brush
his teeth,
sit on the toilet,
pay his bills and
let the dog out.
even the brilliant
must wash
his clothes, comb
his hair, and take an
umbrella when
venturing out
into the rain.
he waits, as we all do
for the water
to boil.
he's no different than
you or me,
just smarter, perhaps,
but still
shackled to all that's
mundane.
