a single note [Explored] - a photo on Flickriver

            yes I've tried to hide my face
behind a tree I have been glad
to see the river run with mud
so fast it will not hold my look
but believe me Boss I can not hide
I can not muddy you I can
not chop you from my stony field
you're like a weed you've got yourself
a common name but a name I can't
forget a name like honey Boss
you pour it in my ear you pour
it in my mouth you make me say
it Boss your name it's like a bird
that's come to roost upon my lips
no matter what it will not stir
it sings a single note sometimes
it's just a whisper others it's
a shout it doesn't matter how
I feel about it what I want
from you is nothing Boss compared
to what you want from me you want
it all to always go your way
though I could give you daisies you
you would just as soon have weeds if it
were in your favor Boss I guess
you'd prize a briar for its thorns
