Stiv Bators said

similar to something I've read

to all the ideas that have fed

like life on the skids

all the way back to the pyramids

We use the mind to confuse

never lose unless we choose

the path of least

like famine or feast

like bread made with yeast

At the dawn of a new year

when all seems to be clear

then suddenly haze obscures the view

capable of reimagining the new

instead of losing ground as before

we attempt to even the score

but that would be a futile attempt

from which many would be exempt

to return to Stiv and what he sang back then

there is a method and let's not try to pretend
