My Employer

I’m aware of my age
My impermanence and so forth
I’ve made arrangements to change
But my nature will make its case
And then work comes first
I’m sorry again
I can’t think two things at once
I don’t mean to be so cold
But if it means a movie alone
It could be worse
I found fire when I was 12
It’s lasted over twenty years
And I can count on one finger
The people that can hurt me now
So work comes first
I’m sorry if I shut off
Never been able to do both
So I keep my nose down
And if it means a movie alone
It could be worse
