What rules there are to bend and
don't we all have a friend who'll bend them?

My imaginary friends won't invite me to the party they're throwing and so I'm throwing them out and finding new friends, tough decisions like those have to be made or where would it end?

Yeah!
around the bend
and don't we all have a friend who is already  there?
There's no mystery,
you know
that the history they feed you
is the thing that you need to
believe in,
and believing is a part of
the fantasy,

get me or not
it's a part of the plot
that we face.
Drugs that pull
drugs that lull you
into a false sense of security,
you
can be sure he'll try them
buy them and fry his brains
with them,

some men do
women too.

I'm eating roast chicken
no drugs in that
well
maybe not that I know
what they feed livestock,
or fowl
before they're in the crockpot
cooking slow.

each to their thing,
my thing's clean living
and
it's been a long time coming.
99% accurate
but
if you're the one it didn't work on
it becomes 100% inaccurate.

giving it a rating of six on the chaos scale
and six for me in anything is an automatic fail.

Happy Monday said glumly at twenty minutes to six
and six factors in quite readily when you're thinking
about next Friday.
If you can
so can I
said the weird guy,
the girl looked
shook her head
wondering
what was wrong with him

not sure what that's about
anyway
I do know
we're all about something,
what that something might be
is
up to you as it is up to me.

Sunday
did you pray for me
again?

I want now what's for offer
in the evermore
but
quite sure
I won't get it.

Looking forward to Monday?
yes me too.
They'll have a ceremony and that'll be the end of me and then they'll forget me and go about their business.

They're all the same
they put your name on the payroll
and think you'll roll over,

pull over and stop the world
I'm getting out and then they'll
have a ceremony
do you get the gist?

you'll be missed until a new employee arrives
but that lot will survive whatever happens

and whatever happens, is not my concern
I work, I earn
and when they play me out of the game
I'll still be here or somewhere else.
I tried to seal the crack of dawn,
but it didn't work
unlike me who has to work
if only to keep the algorithm alive,

being in time doesn't matter when
you're almost out of time
when the clock wants to knock you out
but you come back fighting

and the light floods in.
