I asked a gypsy pal
To imitate an old image
And speak old wisdom.
She drew in her chin,
Made her neck and head
The top piece of a Nile obelisk
and said :
Snatch off the gag from the mouth, child,
And be free to keep silence.
Tell no man everything for no man listens,
Yet hold thy lips ready to speak. ♥
~ GYPSY, Carl Sandburg ~
