negotiation my ***

never a need to say yes or no

just say not now instead

to avoid any decision

apply infinite revision

then crawl on back to bed

 

the words stick to and fro

following where they’re led

when a Harvard debater

says “I’ll catch ya’ later”

they really mean go drop dead

 

declarations come and go

everyday is condition red

I have not a clue

if what you say is true

your rhetoric is overfed

 

intellect is friend or foe

trapped deep in your head

words are often mis-used

context cannot be refused

if you believe you believe what was said
