What They All Say

 

Go against it.

What they all say is bound to be wrong.

They don't know your song

no matter how clearly you sing it,

how fervently you intone

the sound that is yours.

What they all say applies to them

(if to anyone).

It has nothing to do with you.

 

There is no path,

so it is up to you

to blaze your trail.

 

And here I notice,

like the change from minor to major,

the contrast between

the vowels of song and wrong

and the bright sound of blaze and trail.

That open long-a sails into the world,

making change,

ably ranging toward the plain.
