Small made Large

Hydrogen Ions piling up The amount of blood wouldn't even fill a cup Still, I feel the tissues tear, its almost too much Masocistic? Well, I don't know Addicted like kids with Nintendo Somehow I got hooked and wouldn't let go No Superman here, heck I'm not even a Clark On mountains, by rivers, or through some park Give me rain, sleet, or snow, I'll only want more For some odd reason this pain hits the spot Legs turning and burning like some crazy robot Running my life right into the ground If only I could capture this passion And direct it towards a more important action Living life instead of just getting by

Why not direct it into fashioning the world's largest sausage kiev and hiding inside it until you suffocate?

Some nice lines 'not even a clark' 'won't fill a cup'

Not sure the poem hangs together though, loose ended like a hydra.

Has a nice hooky first two stanzas, then the wandering begins.

By the end, it's vapor. A suit wearing a man - I really think its fixable though since there are some nice images in there.

Well, I wish I had the energy to experience that pain.
