Fact

Focus, think before you act
look very closely at every single fact

My life is changing, while I sit here
reacting, never gauging consequences
the phone keeps ringing, asking "Dear,
when are you dropping those goddam fences"?

I tell you that I like you fine,
but I am just not ready
for coffee, drink, no time to dine
your perfume makes me heady

Your words so soft are tempting sirens
resolve is slipping fast
into the fire go all of my irons
I must give up at last

I'll soon be shed of every reason
that forced me to say no
it's got to be the changing season
the sun's renewing glow

Shed warmth upon the flower bed
bring light into my soul
I'll bud, blossom, bloom you said
and then you'll make me whole

The PC is a fading memory of
a life without real contact
for now my sweet you give your love
and that is the last fact

So come to me, or I'll drive there
for coffee, food or wine
and run your fingers through my hair
together, magic, fine

Ask not of me about tomorrow
I don't have any idea
and please don't leave and cause me sorrow
that is my last plea
