Flee, Thou Matadors! |
| FERDINAND: |
| You the coverclouds in a midnight sky |
| I, a little snowflake waxwing high |
| Erring on the delicate side: |
| Who can mark the hour our soul sick friendships die? |
| MARIA: |
| Ever felt like Noah on an overcast day? |
| David, take down your harp and play |
| FERDINAND: |
| You hatched your little plan when the first fell through? |
| The wicked in you ran, though none pursued! |
| MARIA: |
| You’re toeing a precarious line |
| Silk shirt for a sackcloth king--- |
| David, take down your harp and sing! |
| FERDINAND: |
| Clockwork drama in a Josten’s ring |
| Ever on the verge of catastrophe… |
| King of Spain, Queen of Portugal |
| MARIA: |
| I ran to the sea but the sea wouldn’t hide me |
| The oceans agree there was no one to hide! |
| Will my story give way to the weight of its gravity? |
| ~self-appointed-cop-and-spokesman-of-the-end-times~ |
| FERDINAND: |
| Knockneed step and a bent-back spine |
| No sense of direction besides… |
| MARIA: |
| Patterns in the clouds over lake Cascade! |
| Message in the sounds of the Air Force planes! |
| [offers claims on an extravagant scale in |
| Elaborate (if laminated poster board) display about chemtrails] |
| Tinky’s harp on the wall next to Janis Joplin! |
| FERDINAND: |
| Man, I coulda sworn that I saw |
| The cosmos in the livestock straw… |
| MARIA: |
| Early cartography sea creature dragon and all? |
| King of Spain, our songs proclaim |
| That you’re Queen of Portugal |
| King of Spain, our prayers in vain |
| Till you’re Queen of Portugal |
| Owls now sail toward seas of Africa |
| ---flee, thou matadors! |
| Courts of dandelions |
| Wars of Oranges have conquered us! |
