The Basics

March 1, 2018

Don't understand the basics

of social interaction

Not part of the faction

Don't understand fractions

But not in math,

I'm talkin bout fractioning the life that I have

 

I can't separate my interests

I'm just interested,

But can't stay in class forever

Because of the interest in the loans

that will have grown,

When will it be me who has grown,

certainty is a state that I have never known

 

I'm the last person in a game of telephone.
