to the left. Backspaced 'down'. Makes it flow better
in my opinion.
I was born
infinite yesterdays ago.

You will be able to fool me
when you can catch a fly,
with chopsticks,
on your first try.

Grasshopper, grasshopper... <--- maybe a period? Not the ellipses.
Your eyes are translucent.
I hardly need to sqint,
to see exactly what I'm looking for.

A bluff.

Go ahead sir.
Buy some more chips.
I'll be here all night. <--- understandable but it is cliché.

I am a nocturnal shark, Removed to coma, a bit un-necessary.
and you sir, are a sleeping tuna. <-----
Overall I do like it, it could use some fixing up but what poem doesn't? It does remind me of karate kid, but than again that's alright. Keep writing.
