No as in no?

Or no as in maybe?
Or no as in yes, but can't say?

Or is it no as in thank you?
Maybe no as in sorry?
Perhaps no as in please, please don't ask.

No: I don't feel it.
No: You're too fat.
No: Just please leave me alone.

No, you're too old now.
No, you're not needed.
No, but I'll call you some time.

You can't take this path now.
You got here too late.

You've misread the whole situation.

Don't know if you know now,
Nor knew this new notion,
But no, no, just no, no just no...

Seaward

The captain went seaward

and ain't coming back.

The captain went seaward;

his lover mourned.

The captain went seaward;

his ship was sacked.

The captain when seaward;

he ain't no more.
