What Will Become of Them
Wondering about how to make your way in the world
you worried too much about working the night shift
and being lonely,
because you needed someone to be close to,
So you would not worry too much about
what might become of the rest of them
Those who worked during the day
The opposite of your dreaming days would
be the opposite of their dreaming nights
And you would be lonely in the night
working just trying to make your way
in the world for pay
but you read ever chance you could
just so you might understand what
the farmers understood
And driving through the drive through
at the dairy queen ordering up a big
dinner kind of seemed
artificial even though
at the time
it seemed extravagant
because you dodged high school
and college
and figured you would some day write
how it feels to be
incomplete.
Peace!
