Brief prose/poetry about the over-achievers we know. Criticism very welcome.
Pompous Know-It-All

I am a pompous know-it-all and will unabashedly own the title.
I presume without correction and correct obtuse presumption.
I commandeer discussion and captain the collective intellect.
My speech is grammatically superior with a vocabulary to confound the inferior.
I am trained in the art of French cuisine and pass leisure contemplating Rembrandt.
I even river dance.

I am insightful beyond the frame of academia.
I ponder the human condition and my command over my own nature.
I while the lectures away scribbling these profound understandings knowing full well that I’ll never need to take notes.
I know that the others watch me jealously in my blatant indifference.
And I revel in it.

I am a pompous know-it-all and will unabashedly own the title.
