sliding scale

You can always tell 
where you fall on the scale, 
'cause it's fixed in the place
you've broken it. Don't fall 
for the false dichotomies! 
In a given case, they are not
legit. 

Still, now and then T/F 
does hold true, and Y/N
lies right
between go/stop. 
In that case, in which case 
you may rely:

You know. 

Sure you do.
Don't be coy,
nor shy. 

When you're hot you're hot! 
When you're up you're up. 
When you're not you're not. 
Sometimes you get stuck. 
Sometimes you get loose. 
When you're feeling wild
or mild, 
honk 

like a goose! 

Or if that won't work,
cry like a baby, 
laugh like a child, 
act like a sweetheart,
look like a jerk,
dance like a fool 

on apple juice

and let opportunity 
do its work.
