Pandora's Box

Expansion writing:

I can write a million words

Starting from, "do you like birds?" 

I can then say things like,

"You you wish you could fly?" 

You've got two questions to answer

Both yes and no

But if you give me something simple

You know how I'll go

"Why is that?" I ask

And there will will be more and more words

And this conversation grows that originated with birds

They don't really matter

It's something kind of simple

So my expansion writing

Is nothing not simple

But when I write compression

That's taking something large

A theory or idea

With such a huge margin

Squeezing it and wording it

And putting it into a song

When something that would accurately describe it

Would be far too long

Because I don't have the words

I don't have the expressions

To fit what I'm feeling 

Onto a paper impressioned

Or on a screen with these lights

You just shine really all too bright
