through the woods. find your food your good your footing

do we live
in vocation-ville
indeed to have a skill
on which to build
a life a living a craft a will

sometimes we spill our dreams
into one pill
and perform a disappearing act
when it falls ill
one thing won't do
versatility is the key to survival
the skilled man a thing of our past?

learn your rituals living in rural
take them to the big lake
where you are no longer the big fish
in a big pond
does it make you safe anxious awake
or is it all the same play on a different stage

you decide
for its your life
though your parents only want what is best for you
they know some but not all of you
they don't always know what is best for you
sometimes you must forge your own way
through the woods. find your food your good your footing
find the you that is best for the world in its place
where it is today
with you as the missing piece of some obscure puzzle
