16 february

spring forward and draw back - attack the nerves and deserve better (you could do better)
heap sweaters in piles of disregard and harden resolve in tip-top shipshape
cape the towns and canaverels - turn them all to carnival watchtowers
win over the lookingglasses - never let them look back - never let them win

i'd like to know the end game here - maybe just the middle steps
withdrawn, your honor, withdrawn again
the carpet's clean and so are the curtains
certainly open, my dear, my dear
no fear no steerage no headlights
brightening up the road ahead

instead of all the next steps
growing adept at the now
the how it is not could be
the better this than should be
why worry why hurry why what
when now there's this and plenty
