To be a song
|would require me to be open
and accessible to anyone
who happened to be around,
to shed all inhibitions
like a streaker running down
a busy street,
to leave my place
of comfort and flow
out into the open,
emerging from who knows
how may speakers in who knows
how many homes, cars,
PA systems, music venues,
you name it.
you name it.
I could never
impose on people
in such a way.
I prefer to be like a poem
or story in a forgotten book
on a dusty shelf,
waiting for someone
to seek me out
or, finding me by chance,
consider it a happy accident. - Jeff Barnes
