WRITING (More and less)


Writing is exciting to me
inviting words inside my brain
and putting them on paper
sometimes it's not significant
to things that I've experienced
sometimes I just like the way a word sounds
and it fits in well with other words
That's the way John Lennon was
That's the way Bob Dylan is
there's many books written on Dylan's writing
which, to me, are not exciting
it's a waste of time to analyze
and ask exactly what it means
"What is it that they're trying to say?"
I mean, it might be fun to analyze
but don't insist that you are right
when you really think about it
everything has an underlying message
commercials could just say 
"Spend your money on us"
"Give your money to us," churches could say
"and we'll tell you that you're okay"
now don't you go and read that wrong
I am not against the church
I just admit the way it might be
and I wanna keep my soul as long as I can
I haven't sold it to any certain religion
If God wanted me to
I'd belong to one now
it's easy enough to jump to conclusions
when you see or hear something
like the Orson Welles
radio production
that's what causes the
worst of the problems
I'd like to write without any worry
things aren't always as they seem
I could say something like
"I'd like to stick a pair of scissors
in somebody's throat!"
when if I actually saw that
I'd probably faint

so (WRITE) the wAY yOu Wa-nT to; write
imagine whatever you want to imagine
but don't accuse me of writing
what you imagine
and don't tell me I have to write 
the way you do 
'cause then I might as well be you
'course it's only a piece of my opinion
but is it for sure?
Can you be certain?
after all, it's only something I've written
