Give 'Em Hell

6-12-17

You never asked how come
we didn't fix it;
instead you planned ahead.
Ready for the inevitable.
Your seat's about to rumble...
better go to that place
where you can draw
one last deep breath from
before you engage with
ground-level diplomacy and
third-rate, simplistic truths
spun delicately stale.
But you knew that gettin' on.
Let 'em start with the questions...
you might be new to them
but they're in your world now
and you owe no one
small-talk answers to petty questions.
Hurry up. Make it brief.
Life comes at you fast,
but I know you'll hit it back faster.
