Habits of No Use

by David Garner




You drop me off at my place.
And then you drive to work.
Thinking of your lovely face could drive a boy berserk.

But I'm not going there today.
It's not written in the sky.
Lunacy's on holiday. I shipped her off. Good-bye.

I am sending farewells
to habits of no use.
I bought them one way tickets
for the last caboose.
Headed toward Exctinction
the train is leaving now.
The steam begins to whistle.
The conducter wipes his brow.

"All aboard!"

for habits of no use.

Very clever. I love "Lunacy's on holiday. I shipped her off. Good-bye."
