Long Weakend - Gifts from Enola

After you’ve worked your life away

And your father’s goals are met

With a fenced-in yard and the bills paid

After all your money is Saved

And your status bar is set

You’ll climb fearless up The Cascades

You swear

Some day

…and you’ll tip-toe to the edge

If there’s a safety net

You crawled when you could walk

You dragged your feet as your mouth ran off

All you are is talk

And now you’re spent;

defeated

As you lie low

Wrapped up in

(clipped dreams)

The security you seek

(won't fly at all)

Can’t fall, can’t catch up with

Last call.

face down.
