I slept all day
awoke 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;
And you can ask the king;
And they'll say the same thing;
It's a funny thing:
Should we go outside?
Should we go outside?
Should we break some bread?
Are you 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
in the dirt of the day
And danger! Danger! Drawing near them was a
white coat,
and danger! Danger! Drawing near them was a
broad boat,
and the water! Water! Running clear beneath the
white throat,
and the hollow chatter of the talkin' of the
Tadpoles who
know the outside
Should we go outside?
Should we break some bread?
Are you interested?
