Can less really be more?
There has never been a civil war
Sad smiles and icy hot?
What’s next…. a thoughtful bot?
The sound of silence; is it there?
If I listen, can I hear?
Awful good
Sounds….maybe…misunderstood?
Also makes no sense
Like absent presence
Can one man
Be a band?
Cool passion and freezer burn?
Is it possible to “un”-learn?
I guess it’s all old news
So much of it, I guess, falsely true
Or truly false
I’ll just keep the smelling salts
So I can keep on going
Even with all this weirdness in my knowing….
Silly ending, yes, I know
But, anyway, now I’ll go!
