AWOL

Stephen C. Rose
Everything Comes

--

He never sought leave in his life

He never asked he took at will

He never tried to do a thing

Saw things he wanted took his fill

+

He had no Rosebud sled to love

Parents were there he did not care

The simple signs of power were few

There’s no such thing as foul or fair

+

His nonstop propositions flowed

He noted notoriety

And clung to it as if ‘twere gold

Then debt came ‘long and set him free

+

Now he sits in a driver’s seat

Not knowing how to shift a gear

The truth in numbers hidden ‘way

He’s waiting for prompts to appear
