Back Talk. . .
I say. . .
Give me time. . .
You say. . .
I already have.
How much time
do you need?
I say. . .
Just a little more.
I never had time to do
what my soul yearned to do.
You say. . .
But you did what
you saw to do. . .
And I say. . .
That took all my time. . .
You say. . .
Was it yours to do?
I say. . .
But you said if you saw it to do,
you do it because the chance
will pass you by and
it will never be done. . .
Evolution would stagnate. . .
You say. . .
There was no one else to see it.
Life says thank you.
I say. . .
My pleasure, you are welcome.
Now a little more time for me
just to do the frivolous you think. . .
You say. . .
The frivolous would have
enhanced the necessary
and made it less of a burden. . .
I say. . .
Why didn’t you tell that to my mother? .
