Adrienne Rich - Don't Take Me lyrics
[Adrienne Rich - Don't Take Me lyrics]
Too seriously please
Take the December goodness
Of my neighbors’ light-strung eaves
Take the struggle helping with the tree
For the children’s sake
Don’t take me seriously
On questionnaires about faith and fault
And country Don’t
Take me for a loner don’t take
Me for a foreigner don’t
Take me in the public
Library checking definitions
Of freedom in the dictionary or
Tracing satellites after curfew
Or in my Goodwill truck
Delivering a repaired TV
To the house of the foil’d revolutionary
Take the December goodness
Of my neighbors’ light-strung eaves
Take the struggle helping with the tree
For the children’s sake
Don’t take me seriously
On questionnaires about faith and fault
And country Don’t
Take me for a loner don’t take
Me for a foreigner don’t
Take me in the public
Library checking definitions
Of freedom in the dictionary or
Tracing satellites after curfew
Or in my Goodwill truck
Delivering a repaired TV
To the house of the foil’d revolutionary
