naked and bare
i am under your stare
a sea of twisty willows
blows through my mind
and rests upon softly made pillows

here i am, with you
i am as comfortable as i have ever been
since i was left as a child
to wander like an animal in a dream

sit the children down
read them a story
tell them about our age
tell them there is no glory
society has sold its vanity
and vanity lies with insanity

i don’t want to think about yesterday
i held it so close
and now it has moved away
i cannot reach its body
