we're settling our business

we're finalizing legacies

of use to everyone else but us


we're ready for further adventures

we're placing ourselves on a line

and waiting on some starting gun


whose shot may hit us in the ass

but only doing enough stinging harm

to plunge us forward


it is not our will but Another's

that bids us to get going

if we want to live and speaking for myself


there's much in Life I could forego but I do want to live

I do want to live...
