Can...Won't
Oh, but I'm a painter, he said.No, but I don't paint.
Yes, but I help people, she said.
Yet, I'm no saint.
I'm a novelist, he said.
Ha, I don't write.
I'm a peace-lover, she said.
But I love to fight.
I'm a counselor, he said.
I haven't a clue.
I'm very decisive, she said.
But I don't know what to do.
Painting, helping, writing, peace-loving,
counseling, making decisions
are all mere designs with no designations
if they're only proclamations.
