Can I go, quietly, away...
let my friend have the final word?
Can I control the things I say
like some tweetless breed of bird?
Can I leave well enough alone…
keep my imagination mute??
Can I turn off my smarty phone,
become a stringless kind of lute?
You know I AM a simple man….
of cotton shirt and denim pant….
Be quiet…..yes…...I think I can!!!!!
But you know better……friend…….
I can’t!!!
