Darin strides right through the door
subtle talents? Nevermore!
Sometimes perching in the back
melody unchanied as a matter of fact.
He is a designer, planner, a competent.
Darin has the world.
It moves, it stops, it smiles at him,
for in his fist it's curled.
The grim day will come, some months from now
(I can't stop time, anyhow)
when Darin will strut right out the door,
leaving remnants of childhood on the floor.
