2.1442 : 4/14/09 : Chain

3,362 : 11 ?

If I don’t break this chain

I fear this train will run me over

while I’m bending down trying to

pluck myself a four leaf clover

but what the hell at this late date

have I tried all or nothing

This wreck I hate this

dumb state and always always rushing

I started building links before

my voice had changed

and when I hit the ivory tower

delivery had been arranged

and I made sure each job I took

gave me the time to forge a few

each day and now the chain

lies thick and knotted between me and you

And I can say any bold words

I don’t have faith in proclamations

And if you don’t know where to run

you can’t expect your destinations

It’s nice to be forthright and cheerful

good to stalwartly face pain

but how much does it matter

nothing seems to break the chain

what
