1,903,492,418,880 miles

A Poem by

every day i find a new reason for being a loser

every day somebody says,

“you’re never gonna get anywhere”

but every single second of my existence,

the earth travels 3,728 miles

and in my lifetime i have blasted through 510,593,460 seconds

1,903,492,418,880 miles

and because you don’t care about the expanse of the universe

i have gone farther than you ever will.

Interesting thought, made my lazy muscles work, like in my photo or probably more than that.

I think the underlying tone of "look how far I've gone by merely existing" sets the stage for the sassiness. It's not a martyr's tale, which it could easily be, for that sole reason- I think anyway. Everyone has different opinions on what success really means and if you can see it as just sticking around and living well you're obviously going to get farther than people who see it as owning the universe and then some.
I also like how you set this up with very little use of capitalization/punctuation. I've read a lot of your other stuff and I know that if you change your style even a little, it's always for a reason. (I can only assume).
