I am your animal, God
You’ve created me to do what?
On a precipice of sod I sit
Wondering should I jump or squat?
A decision is just a choice You say
You’ve given me free will, okay
Though that’s often debatable
I needn’t see darkness in the light of day
I’m playing with these lines it’s true
I’m a bit of a promiscuous muse
Please, tell me what are poets to do?
Dance? We have nothing to lose?
What about this? What about that?
I’m caring for my mother and husband
Do I advise my adult children?
Should I be a Republican or a Democrat?
Silly, be quiet. Be still. Do as I do.
Here is your short answer for now.
Turn off your phone. Close your eyes. too.
Know in your heart I’ll show you how
