when i was a child i spake as a child i thought as a child
and the womb such creatures crawl from is still going strong.
you standing there, an unsung song today.
there's a fine fine fine fine semi-imagined line.
there's a big red button and there's a sign.
now they're building new towers that we will not climb,
and they are writing new songs so put on yours and just drive.
and there's a fine fine fine fine semi-imagined line.
and there's a big red button, and there's a sign.
so ring out like long-forgotten song today.
ring out over chaiarascuro courtyard crowd.
ring out over yes-man network going down down down.
and when i was an old man my one-shot understanding
became increasingly irrelevant.
and when i was a princess my tower walls they crumbled,
the ivy so black and wet.
and when i was a great ape i climbed the tallest buildings
in the wrong part of town.
and when i was a playwright the characters made light of their predicaments while the actors unionized.
and there's a grasping and a pulling
- no palantir no need i see a swelling need of needing and an aftermath of boredom.
and there's a lazy urgent ambience,
there's a box that won't nail itself shut.
there's love as bridge (contract bridge).
and how the light of burning bridges guides our path.
