Laggard by Design

Copy, right?
Only after a while.

Dial log for an old time fire, 
lively bogs muck feet with ire 
and we won't listen 
until the crickets sing 
like they've been there all along.

Early helicopters crash. 
The middle standard deviators 
are more hypocrite than cool.

Slow roll?
That how you play dice 
and keep your shirt.
