April fool's day rebuttal.
To Reach You
I will not play the fool for you;
if slapstick is your drug of choice
there’s nothing I can say or do
to sober you with words—and you
too enable my comic voice.
I will not play the fool for you
every time the thriller is too
much for you to maintain your poise.
There’s nothing I can say or do
to foil your one-plus-one-makes-two
mentality of girls and boys.
I will not play the fool for you
when he’s not home and it’s gone two;
my batteries are not for toys.
There’s nothing I can say or do
to charm you from your hole, when you
hear my flute as naught but noise.
I will not play the fool for you.
There’s nothing I can say or do.
