Free time a killer
I could polish the silver tray
Tired poetry from tired people
Living for the free lunch
There must be something else
Some discovery
A new metal
Or species, perhaps
Or a color
Discovered in Madrid
A blending of gold
And burnt orange
To make a fish
Or this/that
Free time a killer
I could polish the silver tray
