DON’T ASK ME TO INTERPRET
SOMETHING I DON’T KNOW
ALL I DO IS SIT HERE
AND SLOWLY WATCH IT GROW
I DON’T KNOW WHERE IT COMES FROM
IT JUST SEEMS TO APPEAR
QUICKLY LINE BY LINE BY LINE
AND THEN MY POEM’S HERE
I HAVE NO TIME TO STOP AND THINK
WHAT I WRITE ABOUT
THE WORDS JUST FLOW INTO MY MIND
I HAVE TO LET THEM OUT
DON’T ASK ME TO INTERPRET
I JUST CANNOT EXPLAIN
THE WORDS JUST MAKE A POEM
TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
