Something that isn’t mine

I don’t want to be a teacher.

I don’t want to be a preacher.

I don’t want to drink wine

and go out of my mind.

I don’t want to get caught speeding.

I don’t want to get caught dealing.

I don’t want to get caught feeling

any girl but mine.

I don’t want to work for the corp.

I don’t want to put up with this crap

coming out of Washington.

I want to be a lover not a fighter.

I don’t want to be anything but a writer.

My my my.
