FINI
HERE'S TO AWAKENINGS...
TO A NEW AND CHANGING SEASON -
MAY IT BREAK IN EASY...
AND MAY IT FIT SO RIGHT
LIKE A NEW PAIR OF SHOES...
LIKE A COAT OF MANY COLORS
LET IT BE ANYTHING BUT BLUE
MAY WE AT LEAST BE WARM ONE TO ANOTHER
CAUSE LOVE IS STILL THE ANSWER
EVEN THOUGH IT'S OUT OF THE QUESTION
HELL, IT'S NOT EVEN PART OF THE EQUASION
(SO MUCH FOR MY POWERS OF PERSUASION)
IN FACT LOVE IS SO FAR AWAY,
IT MIGHT AS WELL BE ON THE MOON
IT'S NEARLY JUNE... YET HERE WE ARE:
FRESH OUT OF ROCKET PACKS...
A CONDITION WHICH BEST DEFINES OUR LOT,
WHAT WE HAD AND WHAT WE'RE NOT
AND WHERE OUR PRIORITIES DIFFER MOST
YOU RESISTED THEN INSISTED WE KEEP OUR FEET ON THE GROUND
BUT I WAS BORN TO FLY, A GIFT YOU NEVER FOUND
AND FLY I SHALL - STARTING RIGHT NOW
TO A FUTURE OF SAYING "WOW
- SPELL IT BACKWARDS"
AT LEAST A HUNDRED TIMES A DAY...
AND IN THE LIGHT OF LEAVING,
TELLING ME TO 'UPDATE' WAS OPPRESSIVE AND DECIEVING
YEP, ANY WAY YOU TRY AND SLICE IT...
NOTHING I SAY OR EVER SAID SUFFICES
SO OFFERING ANY MORE ADVICE IS
MOOT, REDUNDANT AND POINTLESS
SO HERE'S TO GETTING OUT OF BEING IN,
TO ESCAPING THE CAVE OF DESPAIR
NO MORE BEGGING FOR ME TO CUT YOUR HAIR
NO MORE WAITING TO BEGIN IT
TOSS THE DICE AND WIN IT...
AND YOU?
YOU'LL BE LEFT WITH ALL YOUR INVESTMENTS:
RETIREMENT TUMS AND COMMUNITY BREATHMINTS
MINUS OF COURSE THE SUM OF YOUR FEARS
WHICH, DIVIDED BY EVERY ONE OF MY TEARS,
IS A TRIFLE MORE THAN MY WEEKLY STIPEND
EQUALS TOTAL FAILURE WHEN YOUR LIFE ENDS
LESS THE GROSS (REJECTION) REVEALING YOUR NET-
IT'S SAD TO THE HIGHEST POWER...
LOSING INTEREST HOUR BY HOUR
TO A NEW AND CHANGING SEASON -
MAY IT BREAK IN EASY...
AND MAY IT FIT SO RIGHT
LIKE A NEW PAIR OF SHOES...
LIKE A COAT OF MANY COLORS
LET IT BE ANYTHING BUT BLUE
MAY WE AT LEAST BE WARM ONE TO ANOTHER
