Yes

--Muriel Rukeyser

It's like a tap-dance

Or a new pink dress,

A shit-naive feeling

Saying yes.

Some say Good morning

Some say God bless

Some say Possibly

Some say yes.

Some say Never

Some say Unless

It's stupid and lovely

To rush into Yes.

What can it mean?

It's just like life,

One thing to you

One thing to your wife.

Some go local

Some go express

Some can't wait

To answer yes.

Some complain

Of strain and stress

The answer may be

No for Yes.

Some like failure

Some like success

Some like Yes Yes

Yes Yes Yes.

Open your eyes

Dream but don't guess.

Your biggest surprise

Come after Yes.
