Penny wishes
Sink to the bottom of clear water thought blue--
Stealing credit from teal paint

Maybe I am unmotivated
Maybe I take too much time
But from whom?
It is mine

Achieve great things
What does it mean?
Make the money that tears us apart
Make a drug to keep beating a sorry, broken heart

Play important
Play smart
Teach with your bimillenially biased brain the meaning of ancient art
Exercise your mind in a hamster wheel of antique thought  

Wandering through obstacle courses we built ourselves
We build higher and higher until one day we look down
See the rounding of the earth
And crawl back to the ground
