OR
ReplyDeleteOr close the book
And wait for another
Or close the book
Because of its cover
Or because you prefer
Only love lyrics
Or because slant rhyme
Gives you ear aches
Or because it’s written
By an unknown author
Or because “all language
Has lost its power”
Or because the beauty
Of the perfect rose
Instead of some statue
Is what you chose
