I am alive. I am a Man.
I am the oldest man alive.
I have been alive forever.
I sit atop My mountain stronghold and I
look down at the other men at My feet and I laugh.
I laugh at you.
You, the Lesser Men, you, whose lives flicker
by Me like a cloud of? nets?
You are born and you die as I open and close My eyes to blink.
I watched as My slaves built for Me the Pyramids.
I spoke the words as they were carved onto the Rosetta stone.
I watched as Rome burned, as Pompeii was crushed and as the Twin Towers fell.
I have always been. And I will always be.
You may see Me, though you will not know Me.
You may see Me at the club, you may see Me on the street,
you will be dazzled by My golden chains,
by My spinning wheels, by My shining clothes.
I have the biggest Hat in the world.
It's got a million diamonds hanging from its brim,
it's been dyed the color that no painter has ever been able to mix,
and it could shade all the starving children of the world at the same time.
I live in the biggest house in the world.
It's the size of a hundred cities.
I can sleep in a different room each night,
and my bedspread is woven from the hairs of Queens.
