Expiring and nearly extinct
Tightly gripping yesterday
Walking the outermost lane
Silence to what you say
—
Cynicism settles over this tribe
Your landline is obsolete
Life as a one-armed cactus
Dancing with two left feet
—
Marshaling retired gray matter
Displaying the virtues boasted
Flexing attitudes once resolute
Retracting critiques posted
—
To strive for value openly
The sail embraces the changing winds
Letting go of hoarded fool’s gold
An alienated soul freely transcends
