The Statute of Limitations and the Art of Saying “No”

There are plenty of things that I'm not going to do,

Many of which are welded to my to-don't list

Because they're liable to t-bone my morals

At eleventy-five miles a tangent

Or they're incompatible with my entire lifestyle,

Or just because I've seen what happens when they happen,

and some things that I am not permanently closed to,

But as the current transient resident of the present moment,

I simply don't think they're the thing to do.
