Sprout And The Bean

PostPosted: 17 May 2010, 13:08

    I slept all day
    I woke with distaste
    and I railed
    and I raved

    that the difference between
    the sprout and the bean
    it is a golden ring
    it is a twisted string

    and you can ask the counsellor
    you can ask the king
    and they'll say the same thing
    and it's a funny thing

    should we go outside
    should we go outside
    should we break some bread
    are y'interested?

    and as I said
    I slept as though dead
    dreaming seamless dreams
    of lead

    when you go away
    I am big-boned and fey
    in the dust of the day
    and in the dirt of the day

    and the danger, danger drawing near them was a broad boat
    and the danger, danger drawing near them was a white coat
    and the water, water running clear beneath a white throat
    and the hollow chatter of the talking of the tadpoles who know th'outside

    should we go outside?
    do you know th'outside?
    should we go outside?
