Yep, another voice cries for attention. It's the mark of sarcasm. A chasm that's not of my concern

Succinct yet brilliant. I love it, Lin. That's a monster tumbleweed!

Yes, it is and represent some pretty big mouths that like to sound off. There's been at least one since this one was posted.

I can drift until there's a rift and then I'll go my own way. Sounds like a plan for me and it was good enough for Fleetwood Mac.

Yep, when it’s the other way around. I suppose some will now assume it’s about them that I’ve written. So vain. Probably think this poem is about them… Carly Simon.
