Don't Crash

Don’t crash

Your train of thought into mine

I need more time to unwind

Don’t want a wreck on my hands

You think

You have the answers, I know

All the tools that it would take

To help us all understand

So what

Of the funny play of your words

Twists and turns of your phrases

And changing face of your spin

Wonder

How long before it sounds like

Something we’ve all heard before

And the logic starts wearing thin

What if

Some one somewhere catches on

Lightbulb moment kicks in

Thinks it through and puts it out

How will

You put a new logic to it

Open out a different track

Do a complete turn about

Something

About public memory

You hope that time will erase

All the questions from your past

But then

It’s a tricky tightrope dance

Through fiction, fact and half truths

Will your luck hold out and last?
