I didn't mean to piss off everyone
Or dominate the conversation; no,
I only meant to start the discussion,
And share opinions. Once I'd started, though
Not one of you would talk, and the professor
Was staring right at me. What could I do?
There's no good option, but I thought the lesser
Of my two evil choices would be to
Answer him, and keep on talking. I
Would dearly love to have been quiet, but
I hate the silence which, I don't know why,
You always let stretch on, no matter what
We have been asked. If you would speak, I could
Shut up as you have asked; trust me, I would.
