Take
When I want to say
to you whom I know
or who read this, conceding
to get to know me a little,
Why do you take that,
You shouldn’t take that,
Don’t take that—
You take it all in
and understand.
But when I want to say
it to the rest of the world
whom I don’t know—
Well they won’t take that
So I’m quiet oftener than not
so as not to be taken
somewhere as
insane.
