A new one from the same collection:

At The Ballet

It’s a sin we all commit
Makes a communist of me
And from my stories I omit
This sad and youthful spree

This car is smaller then before
Artistry bred of hands and heat
Our ballet turns into a war
Our bunkers, these dusty bucket seats

And yet without opposition
We still fight for our lives
War’s gone from rightful expedition
Now, a way to pass my time

What's worse is as much as I can give
I can’t seem to get enough
“20’s when you’re supposed to live”
But I’ve become a lush

Admittedly I do enjoy
In a naive way
This is just part of the dance
A need to for some ballet

When it’s over we sort of bow
Though no one claps aloud
And no one begs for signatures
Still, it’s implied I should be proud

I feel I must confess
I fear against the grain
This stage is not what I’d have guessed
Nor the lack of pain

The longer it demands devotion
The less I seem to care
Simply going through the motions
The footwork and the flair

And although it seems this art’s my fate
Experience might make me adept
Or is it that I can’t differentiate
The performer from the steps
