No, don't let them know, move on, let them wonder why you just couldn't stay
on another day, they aren't worth your time, your time is invaluable
decide on yourself, bet on yourself and win big, just because you can
only, they'll call back, they need to know, it's your life, make them earn your say
not only your words but your energy, priceless, don't give it away
tackle the next job with as much gusto, or not, you're responsible
least of all for words of explanation, let go, shit can hit the fan
even this is not your problem, you have choices to make and money
to save for later, your nest egg, like a Sparrow, messy but okay
ten percent or more each paycheck in a savings account, let it sit
how the Buddha sits, patiently, maturation takes decades not years
entertain ideas of interest, places to see and people to meet
meet outside the job, for fun, whatever that means, did you forget, tears
kiss each cheek with hugs, little rivers, streams on fire, it's just not funny
nope, nothing to show for years, nay, decades of work, the plan to get out
of the old rat race, with Hemingway's solution, or a different route
what the future holds, uncertainty for certain, speculate, a risk
money is the truth, what is the criterion, give the girl a shout
only she knows pain, suffering grounds our sorrows, the bottle opens
vengeance with each glass, move on, let the bottle be for others, no clout
earned downing Bourbon, unless your distillery is called 'Basilisk'
or you're the owner, but not the whole bottle, taste, move on, let it go
nothing ever came of habitual drug use, watch your cocks and hens
lose yourself in time, you'll forget why you came here, where are my glasses
eat up all the food only to run all the miles, no, you can't sit still
to count breaths, or steps, amounts to the same thing, breathe, no one makes passes
today, tomorrow, ever again, an old man, if you pay the bill
humans disregard your presence, a good thing, too, you've nothing to show
entertain children as a clown, a magician, a doctor, a nurse
maybe you don't care about the rest of the world, that's okay, you know
wonder about time, instantaneous chaos, only one moment
only one event, simultaneous time-line, all events, a curse
no such thing as time, imagine linear scales, meaningless drivel
decide to study philosophy for a change, you thought long ago
everything occurs in the blink of an eye, poof, time becomes unspent
remember childhood memories filled with trauma, how the mind plays tricks
what and where is mind, is it the brain, the body, or both, to shrivel
how a cicada, in Greek myths, lives forever, cursed by a lover
yes, love's not perfect, get over it, Valentine, you, too, will die soon
yes, this, too, is good, never to live forever, a conceit, Grover
oh, to disappear, but seriously, where to, a hot-air balloon
under the night sky, until Trudeau shoots you down, nowhere, with these pricks
just in time, Justin, the government is yours now, hold your head up high
under government, idiots will protect you from nothing worthwhile
still, nowhere to go, everyone mimics the same, monkeys in a tree
trade in your pension for a lovely plot, your grave, you won't ever die
called your bluff, taxes, every year with no loopholes, you're not rich enough
okay, die lonely, or in love, somebody hurts, leave a lovely smile
until portraiture, no longer so serious, let people be free
let people be free, not in the Constitution, no, we are all slaves
decide to be free, think whatever thoughts you choose, ball lands in the rough
now, you laugh out loud, you're in love with life itself, let go and move on
tragedies happen, to think you were once a pawn, now, you own nothing
such is life, let go, money comes and money goes, the billionaire con
to make you believe it's the only thing worthwhile, money has no spring
as locks and tumblers seal the vaults inside the bank, money comes in waves
yes, don't let them know, move on, let them wonder why you just couldn't stay
