our guts tell us
the story
often before reality
has a chance to
prove us right
or wrong
bad news
often wears
many colorful masks
has the rhetoric down
and tells you what you
want to hear
in order to get
what it wants
needs
or obsesses about…
glad i listened
for once
and held back
keeping bad news
at arm’s length
now bad news
is headin’ on down
someone else’s
roads
that’s good news
from where i’m sittin’…
