Cricket wife |
| Time has stopped |
| The air is still |
| Nothing moves |
| Or ever will |
| Present tense is future past |
| Velocity slows so fast |
| The air is still |
| Nothing moves or ever will |
| «I'm going home |
| I’ve had enough |
| Call a taxi |
| I want my stuff |
| Where are my shoes? |
| My coat? |
| My hat? |
| Get me out |
| I smell a rat |
| I can’t remember why or when |
| They brought me here |
| But this is there |
| And then is now» |
| A sudden sigh |
| «And now it’s late |
| And where am I? |
| And where am I? |
| Where am I?» |
| A sudden sigh |
| «Where am I?» |
| «Whey are my shoes? |
| My coat, my hat? |
| Just get me out |
| I smell a rat |
| Whey are my shoes? |
| My coat, my hat? |
| Just get me out |
| I smell a rat |
| Whey are my shoes? |
| My coat, my hat? |
| Just get me out |
| I smell a rat» |
| «I can’t remember why or when |
| They brought me here |
| But this then |
| And then is now» |
| A sudden sigh |
| A sudden sigh |
| «And now it’s late |
| And where am I?» |
| A sudden sigh |
| A sudden sigh |
| And now it’s late" |
| Another sigh |
| Then sleep to dream |
| Laughing, flying from the scene |
| I saw you clearly in my mind |
| Fly and leave it all behind |
| Bones and blood |
| And anxious anger |
| Replaced in space by girlish laughter |
| A sunny day |
| His turn to bat |
| The cricket wives |
| Sip tea and chat |
| «That's that, he’s out |
| Not such a bad innings |
| They still have a fair enough chance of winning» |
| His boyish smile |
| She understands him |
| His lack of guile |
| Her soul demands him |
| He packs his bat |
| They’re off together |
| And that was that |
| And is forever |
