The morning martin calls crows
and sparrow song
Light rain clacks the roof top
as eyes crack open
The sky clears
The sheep bleet
Beat
Lace shoes, walk
and walk
As red faces run
and black faces display jewelry
Stare
A breakfast fit for 10
Kings and Queens
90 years today
Drive
and drive
Giant swans bite at bags
and we bite 99s
on the lake
Crawling through the water
Fighters soard overhead
Swoop and dive
with the gulls on the island
Feed 10p
Feed it some more
Pay on 10th try
Math's not right
Stamping arrows was never in the cards for me.
And drive
and drive
Over hills
Through valleys
On bridges
Between mountains
Endless green
Segmented perfectly
by infinite stone
The walls climb
and fall
Fish and chips
and candles ablaze -
We sing our hearts out to you.
90 more
And drive
and walk
Bats swoop and dive
as dog headed sheep
show their balls
The fires on
American pigskin
on the 11th consecutive
Its a duel.
*You see Joe.... I aint got nobody to clean my bed when I'm gone
Its all so similar
yet all so different.
