Key Lines

Rick Wojtala

Free verse
Play it smart kid
And don’t fib.
I said that.
To each his own
It’s all unknown.
Do your thing
And you’ll be king.  
Bob Dylan said that.  
After all that’s said and done
There is only a man’s job left.  
Arthur Miller said that.
Women.  Can’t live with
them; can’t  live without them.  Flounder.
