I Suppose I…
I suppose.
I suppose I
should put the books on my lap
Pick one up so it can be read
I suppose I
should resume my working
Stop making excuses and stalling
I suppose I
oughta plan for our date
The all-important silver fate
But surely no one’s
Gonna really mind
If I take some time off to unwind?
Do nothing
Just lie
Pretend the world’s alright
Eat nachos
Drink kombucha
Play “hide-n-gotcha”
I suppose I
could in some other world
But this one? (I doubt it)
I suppose I
could shut it out
Leave people behind
I suppose I
could say no
Obligations galore forego
But no.
I suppose I
must keep up appearances
Do as bidden to avoid grievances
I suppose I
must toe the line
Live in obeisance all the time
Or
I suppose I
could ask why
Maybe challenge the sky
But
I suppose I
won’t til I’m old and grey
Then no one will question what I do or say
I suppose.
