Under The Radar
(Written for JR's competition, "Easy Like")
Lotto-winner, me--
Goodbye!
All this shit will cease, immediately;
Life as it is, now.
My Bank-Of-Mom duty, I'll uphold,
Pay for your college,
Whatever else you need.
The rest will be gone with me,
Disappeared off the radar
Of those I no longer care to associate with,
Which is most people right now.
Except a choice few,
You,
Him--the one I wish I'd met 25 years ago,
A handful of others.
I'll have my own train station,
And the train, too;
Go off on the rails whenever I want
And slip behind the curtain
Where I can just ride.
Sayonara, Chickies!
I have other worlds to explore.
