Don’t Explain

Written July 2000

don’t explain what we already know,
things will change, sooner faster than slow,
& what remains is as fragile as snow in spring,
but we already know..
that love runs loose, she ties no double knots,
and we don’t choose, no we’re chosen by lot,
to refuse just brings suffering and pain,
to explain what we already know..
+++ & words fall short, they don’t reach all the way,
+++ stretched and torn in a ragged parade..

when you’re lost in a beautiful place
each wrong turn is a perfect mistake
& there’s a cost, but we’ll pay either way
to relearn what we already know..

so don’t explain what we already know,
things will change, sooner faster than slow,
what remains is as fragile as snow in spring,
but we already know…
+++ & words fall short, they don’t reach all the way,
+++ stretched and torn in a ragged parade…
