Momentary Head Fake

There are some things

you can only sing

but never say

 

There are some things

given out but once

in the foray

 

There are some things

that the world lays claim

and takes its due

 

There are some things

past the cloud of time

you must pursue

 

Living on the edge

is sharper

cut or not

 

Dying for that

final answer

knowing what

 

Praising what the mob

is damning

come what may

 

Loving what the

moment seizes

— counterplayed
