A Long Hard Lazy Apprenticeship (Live)

You would think

By now

That people would know better

Than to ask me what I've been doing with my time

But I still stumble, crumble and quell

To come up with an answer

That would silence them

I suppose I could tell them the truth

But after all the brooding abstraction and evasion

There just isn't much time left

To do the work or to tell the truth
