Not Yalk's Requiem - Jim Guthrie

Watch us get old

Watch me undecided

Uncommitted?

Shocking me when my mother

Turned the tables

I’m not stupid, just naive

But only if you think so

Just naive if I believe

Then that would make us even

Even nothing

Incoherent

See that would make us different

I can’t do it

Can’t stand the silence

Can’t take the noise

Watch us get old

Watch me undecided

Won’t get mad about what’s dead

And you couldn’t get me started

Never blamed for a history

I never knew existed

Don’t know what he said to you

About my visit unexpected

Never blamed for a history

I never knew existed

Not a history

I knew 'bout that

But not about what followed

Can you see it?

That’s not all
