The Minutes

I shouldn't get to choose

Whose game we stand to lose

I tried tough love

But I'm leaving it behind

The answers are in front of us

So they aren't hard to find

Fuck the minutes

Check the cliff notes

Smudge the margins

Add the air quotes

You didn't want to lose

Your hard-earned leg up on the truth

The distance between Long Island and Duluth

It's all a game of inches till we come upon the proof

Pause the minutes

Read the minutes

Trust the minutes

Heed the minutes

Count the minutes

Parse the minutes

End the minutes

Start the minutes

Claim the minutes

Blame the minutes

Take a minute

State your business

Somehow try to get it through your skull

Somehow try to get it through your skull

The proof's in the pudding

The proof's in the pudding

The proof's in the pudding
