    I Stand Before The Songwriters' Cabal
    by Gordon Downie
    I Stand Before The Songwriters' Cabal,
    bearing gifts of drugs and alcohol,
    They say, "That's not enough and that's not all
    and go stand stand over there 'til your number is called."
    O I'll step up to the mic and sing
    'til god or a reasonable facsimile appears.
    Called before The Songwriters' Cabal,
    wide-eyed just to be included in all this
    exuding of warmth to the point
    when a voice, at once calming and benign,
    that's soothed the soul every time after time,
    like a barré chord swiped down the register line,
    says, "Don't invent a demand in your mind.
    And don't tell them more now than they believe.
    Don't tell them what they've already heard.
    Don't describe the footsteps you've taken
    or the horizon you serve."
    I stepped up to the mic and sang
    voice tinkling like a chandelier
    when god or a reasonable facsimile appeared.
    I sang, "Don't Tell Us More Than We Believe"
    and "Don't Tell Us What We've Already Heard."
    I sang, "Don't Describe Your Footsteps,
    and The Horizon You Serve."
