Don't Ask Me If I Can't

- May 23, 2017

I can bury my jewel

In the safe of the wind

I can break a mountain with an egg

I can cross the oceans with a single stroke

I can fix my feast on the sun

I can pick those stars

Scattered across the sky

I can tame the devil by the horn

Don't ask me

Can you "can" the "can't" that you can?

Men once touched the moon

With the soles of their feet

Once party on the glades of Everest

Survived under the weight of Pacific

Crossed the earth in their iron birds

The "can't" of the dawn of time

Are now ridiculed

By fists of the close of age

My answer to your question will be

I can't say I can't while I can't

Though it may sound so insensible

But great things always come wrapped

In the strand of many impossibilities

Everyone must therefore make a choice

Of I can't, of I can
