YOU CAN BE AN OBSERVER AND COMMENT
OR YOU CAN SAY NOTHING AT ALL
RATHER GIVE MY TWO CENTS THAN SILENCE
THOUGH IN SOME CASES I'D BE APPALLED
IF YOU LET PEOPLE DO THEIR OWN GUESSING
WHAT THOUGHTS ARE IN YOUR HEAD
THAT MAY LEAD TO SOME OBSESSING
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY JUST READ
Author's Notes/Comments:
I STARTED OUT WITH THE FIRST TWO LINES AND THEN WASN'T SURE WHERE I WANTED TO GO WITH THEM...ORIGINALLY WROTE RATHER HEAR YOUR TWO CENTS THAN SILENCE AND CHANGED IT TO RATHER GIVE MY TWO CENTS THAN SILENCE TO AVOID CONFUSION OF SOMEONE THINKING I MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR COMMENTS WHICH I AM NOT...I DISABLE COMMENTS CUZ THERE WAS ONE WEIRD PERSON LEAVING WEIRD COMMENTS ON MY POETRY A LOT AND I WAS GETTING TIRED OF BEING BOTHERED TO GO AND DELETE THEM ALL THE TIME... I WAS WATCHING THIS IS SPINAL TAP A ROCKUMENTARY MOCKUMENTARY WHEN THE FIRST TWO LINES CAME TO ME AND I HAD TO PAUSE IT AND THEN SIT A MINUTE TO TRY TO THINK WHAT I WANTED TO ADD TO IT...WHENEVER LINES POP INTO MY HEAD I HAVE TO STOP WHAT I AM DOING AND WRITE THEM DOWN FAST OR I LOSE THEM...THEY ARE FLEETING...YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES...MOST OF THE TIME THEY JUST KEEP COMING BUT SOMETIMES I GET STUMPED A MINUTE...REGARDLESS USUALLY WRITTEN IN A MINUTE OR TWO...
