elven accuracy

accuracy is what i'm after
no wasted words
no wasted moves
and no fucking wasted time

it being my lot to have
these overgrown brainparts 
these coverings
these tools and words
rather than wallow around 
the hour waning 
watching flesh sink
in the weak blue light
of the television
i want to shoot these iridescent arrows
in perfect arc 
breaking no sunbeam
as they whistle middle c
and fall finally with staccato thwack 
into the heart of complacency

but most times
my roll comes up short
on the initiative check
so i just get wasted
