Prosaic Dangers

Be careful what you wish for, kid,
The garden says to the good night.

I am the most selfish person I know
But I love giving.

So you can keep your fancy metaphors
And your grad school grammar.

Because I matter on Saturdays
And some Monday mornings.

I sip my tea and bid you farewell,
Have a nice upcoming autumn.

Back to buying a bike helmet
Before tomorrow kills me.
