Some Say

Some say “it is what it is” and never, not once, wonder when something wouldn’t be what it is. Strange. 

Some say “rock-n-roll ain’t noise pollution” but never rail against leaf blowers. Do they think leaf blowers are rock-n-roll? Strange.

Some say “what doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger” but never think that what does kill them, by comparative-superlative logic, makes them strongest. Strange.

Some say “if is the biggest word in the dictionary” but would never use it in a scrabble game. Strange.

Some say “love, it is a river” but what good would that do, especially when the levee breaks. Strange.

You say, “I talk so all the time” but I really just want you to shut up.
