Erect a monument for yourself
Choose a pose and stick with it
Hold it out as long as required
The sculptor wants it just right
Years of work on the edifice
Few appreciate the handiwork
Years of work on the pedestal
Today I choose a pose of victory
Sitting in my car at the court
Gazing across at the statues
With their old, stoic diligence
I have to get off my ass again
And do the right thing again
Fuck it.
So now I'm in the bathroom here
And there goes my breakfast
Thirty minutes left for closure
An open and shut case, of course
I may stop into St. Peter's after
A sad journey completed here
I want to weep for my daughter
I want my ex to weep for her
Too many wants in this life
Here I go
