Runaway Dog

Motion aside
What can you expect of someone as fortunate as I?
Teach a man to fish and he feeds his kids
You say it’s pretty straight forward, yeah it really is
I should rely
A little less on success, a little more on divisible time
My appetite is not what it used to be
Moving onward, counting sheep
I opened the door, the dog up and ran away
Gone for weeks, I’ve been doing OK
I won’t, but I think they told me so
I will never pave the road that I want to
