we hope to meet
our desire to be
yet speak of it
in past tense

we've learned to hide
by closing eyes
out of sight
means out mind

we throw our dice
on paradise
when things don't go right
go fly a kite

we break our backs
for this and that
and other things
not worth mentioning

we seek a new
attitude
but not for me
more for you

we're looking for
an even score
unaware
that life's unfair
