A "Pause for Words"

Plucking on Top of the World

I could be the keystone of the Arc de Triomphe;

wear the one ring that rules them all

I could be the ruling decision, another Marbury v. Madison

I could take my seat with the New World Order's cabal of the elites,

even make room for Jack on the door with Rose...

..if I could harness half the tenacity of this eyebrow hair.
