Dare I

Dare I tell it to you straight

confront your social gait 

battle on the field

just to delineate

words and circles that you mate

can’t remember when it’s late

all I ask is something pure

but you’re too busy on the slate

victim--throw a curve ball bait

but it’s ok

 I’ll wait

I never rush homeplate

yeah it’s a tipsy kind of fate

like a shot 

Dare I ask you for it straight
