If this is a day

On a page or stage

That asks you to say...

Something.

With rhyme or not

Keeping time or

Stopping to make your meaning clearer

Bringing the distant nearer

Unpacking the treasured memories

Buried oh so slightly to the left in your chest

Explaining why someone pushes all your buttons

And how each and every button feels to be depressed

And doing all this in words you feel

Are more than deeply literal

Or even a little surreal.

Yes, if this a day

On a page or stage,

Which asks you to say...

Something.

Then the question is 

Exactly what and how

Will you choose to say or write 

Right now?
