But would you care if it's truth or dare when actions have no consequence?

What is the relevance when relevant is redundant?

We're marching into the furnace and complaining of the cold while our skin is blistering, and we're going in complacently.

If it's only me who sees and everyone else disagrees
there may be a problem.
Grandma said,
Don't go,
but I dunno
Idaho
looks a likely place to be and grow
and I have heard
that Tea Kettle Cave is one to save
for the album,

boys will be Boise.

Grandma says
Dayum.
How we laughed at
Death on a hovercraft,

we were young then
nine or ten.
but now we're not
and death's got
the last laugh
If you think that you're 'over the hill'
there's a pill you can take
it'll make you feel brand new
and ready once more for the climb.

but you know it's all a bit Sisyphus
when
they call you by name, and it's
Narcissus.

No pills for me
herbal tea will be just fine
.
That obsession
could not be beat
it tasted so sweet
on my tongue,

but I should have run
should have hightailed it out
what in hell's name
was I thinking about?

There should have been a danger sign,
a warning
telling me of the minefield ahead
and there wasn't
that
doesn't mean there shouldn't have been
if there were, I wouldn't
be here in the state
that I'm in.
'No time like the present',
but it has already passed
and I see that nothing today
has been built to last.

Misery is a solitary endeavour.

So we don't dwell on what has
been and gone,
we look to the future and hope
to move on.

It was Monday before
and
it'll be Monday again
then
it'll be Monday again and again

I see a pattern emerging.
Not a sign, a signal or omen
that they were homing
in on me
using
infrared tracking
but they arrived
and I was backed in
to a corner

lucky really
I could have been tucked in
by a coroner
because
they had guns
and lots of
them.
