The wonder of rebuff dismissed

You want to communicate

That is you want to say something

To cause some reactions


You want to communicate a closing

That is you want to say something

To close words of birth contractions


Now then here is the dilemma

By saying nothing

Do you communicate more than words can ever say


Or

By saying nothing

Do you precursor, and so prevent reaction


If your words are spoken

Can the meaning be more mistaken

Than if the written word was read


If your words are laid on parchment paper

Is spontaneity lost

The wonder of rebuff dismissed


Redirection distressed, pointed out by no one other

Do you have the craft or guile

With words to smile or cry


Or look through sly eyes wily

With style to climb on high

While still saying, swaying, saying nigh
