autumn vintage

there's nothing noble in this kind of rot

we weather storms but reach no harbour sure

our choice is clear pay up or lose the plot


 

some day there is an answer this time not

no other means our safety to ensure

there's nothing noble in this kind of rot


 

we tell ourselves there is but we forgot

how much of nonsense we have to endure

our choice is clear pay up or lose the plot


 

like children here with noses full of snot

we cannot breathe and cannot find the cure

there's nothing noble in this kind of rot


 

so we must leave but first undo the knot

that binds with certainty both raw and pure

our choice is clear pay up and lose the plot


 

leaving behind enough to fill the slot

in hope that reason will some day mature

there's nothing noble in this kind of rot

our choice is clear pay up and lose the plot
