"rolling stone"

wake to percolator
bake to sit up straighter
improve my demeanor
& risk a subpoena

express the obvious
& preach benevolence
it loses pertinence
when choosing abstinence

fine lines i've crossed
lost loves the cost
but i'm still the boss
& gather no moss

"but what can a decent man speak of with most pleasure?
Answer: of himself. well so I will talk about myself"
Dostoyevsky in Notes from the Underground
