Silence!

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 tuneless kind of lute?

You know I am a simple man….

of cotton shirt and levi pant….

Be quiet…..yes…...I think I can!!!!!

But you know better……friend…….

…….

……..

I can’t.
