The Poet Speaks (To Himself)
I heard you say you can't read my lines:
you feel they're not meant for you.
Well I wouldn't normally say:
I don't like your food, it stinks.
(Except that stolen fruit- hey, hey!)
You'll be satisfied with nothing less than a mirror
but, going through life with your eyes closed?
Me, I'd like something for nothing
an uplifting thought that won't go away.
We're both out of luck but let's stay friends:
each can help the other adapt and survive.
It's just possible there may be a way forward:
crashing through this undergrowth anyway.
