I’m a Fool
Steely Dan sings
“I don’t wanna do your dirty work no more”
again and again
only once intoning
“I foresee terrible trouble
And I stay here just the same”
in the saddest version of
“I can’t go on. I must go on.”
you’ll ever hear
So, when you ask someone
who is used but not loved
why they don’t leave,
you better have a good answer
when they ask, in turn
What’s the use?
Because,
in the absence of love,
people would rather be used than judged
