1055

Didn't anybody take the givens
For trying, time's song gets wrong
Every night I've gone lone ranger on the paid-ups
Somebody is off-white

Firmament of dream speech
How you waddle through the equatorial mouse-nest
I don't watch that nice-fest
For long enough to understand what people see
In the shots from the key
Everything happens on a hard court

Given up for a yesterday of thousands
I'm sterilizing houseflies for a funder I can't recognize
And the dissertation's frozen in the mirror
Now I go to school and experience drives by
I'm watching it go from the center of my high
I could take a line and shake your hand
Compensation could be better but the roles are fine

But where's your sound translation
Your poem-to-rewrite-the-nation
As if there were some other principle
Than truth or California
If you ask it something terrible and it says
Leave your free checking ads at the door
I'm not going to volunteer to bewitch you
Situation's not dire but it sure is bleak
