I am a backdoor man
Living without a plan
Avoiding “all in” decisions
Autopilot on the proven path is Pilate’s hands in a sterile bath
Nowhere to go -
Nowhere to grow...
There alone I stood
Solitary, still -
As the evergreen
In a winter wood
Spending all of what’s left
Searching for where the rest went
Asking, “Have your cells reset,
Leaving a half no longer needing me?"
Nowhere to go -
I go it alone...
There alone I stood
Solitary, still -
As the evergreen
In a winter wood
Watching water in a wishing well
Take shape in empty shells
“I lock the door to my own cell”
There are fates far worse than Hell
