Chasing My Tail

Steal my heart in the summer
Thoughts and visions from another time cloud my mind
Thinking I was not meant to live this long
Thanking an absentee god that I
Did not take that accidental fatal fall
Distractions as lifeblood. Stranded druk on a humid night
Pushing ply
Burning sky. Making peace with vice
Constantly increasing the pressure in my life
Aim and Ambition. You’ve come at age
The money must be made, the bills must be paid
I live hand to mouth and simplify
The things I can’t afford to lose
Have multiplied. Friends have scattered
I miss them all so much. I’ll see you at weddings
And funerals. We’ll catch up and we’ll wish each other well
Only time will tell. I wish you well
Scrape and crawl to gain position
Chasing my tail in the land of competition
Scrape
Crawl
