the hard way is still a way
and halfway is still on the way
if you don’t get kicked off the bus
for vulgar language and offensive b.o.

there is a way called the way
but it’s for people who can sit still
and you can buy books on getting your way
but you never get past a chapter or two

and you found out a long time ago
that way too far has a reputation it doesn’t deserve
but that’s far enough has cheerleaders all over the land
and a far away look in your eyes makes people uncomfortable
