Sounds Like: A Sprinter Who Knows His Limits Avoids the MarathonThe carpet is crawling with Cardinal Sin,
Jesus is calling, he wants you back in.
So you vacuum,
and call it a day.
Did they tell you?
It was all for the best,
when they stapled
that map to your chest--
big, red X's designed
to keep you in O's.
Let's go color blind,
then, maybe,
who knows?
I get to thinking,
when I've been drinking,
that maybe we're better this way
in the long run,
the sprinter avoiding a marathon.
The phone never rings,
but you see him around.
You've got all of his things,
they won't stay in the ground.
But the pages are thin,
so you see through the words
and back when blind faith was in
all the edges got blurred,
and now
I get to thinking,
when I've been drinking,
that maybe we're better this way
in the long run--
the sprinter avoiding a marathon--
and when I'm older
and I need a shoulder,
well, maybe I'll pencil you in on a weekend;
we can dive all we like
in the deep end
and call it a day.-jp
