Let Us Knit Together A Story

Let us knit together a story of beginnings not ends It's too easy these days to unravel and stay friends Or sprinkle a bruised sweated purple sage Let us not fight in fitful-outrage scattering thyme And salt on a marinated underbelly barbecued Let us not denigrate talk-ill, bad of each other. Or take to the stage to win over an audience Who isn't fit paying a backseat entrance fee? Let us knit together a story of happy-ever-after Without listening to the rats in a sordid basement Or under those leaking rotten rafters Feeding on our leftover words, words like whatever. Let us not turn defensive in order to stay in control Dance to the latest paparazzi-tune; we're not puppets On a thrown sent to the gallows, executed by stones Let us write our own, destinies; throw down any cutlasses This isn't a duel where one or the other remains loveless Let us knit a story that begins, but darling never ends.
