Boxes |
somewhere a scream proclaims |
another life begun |
a monkey we can bend |
not yet his mother’s son |
somewhere a boy in grey |
walks scared through white-washed walls |
to learn the monkey way |
between the twisting walls |
boxes |
boxes |
somewhere a boy now grown |
made simple by his pain |
makes monkeys of his own |
keeps up the lifelong chain |
some way us everywhere |
where all the monkeys go their boxes testify |
an endless row on row |
boxes |
boxes… oh… |
from medieval bricks |
a snot-nosed gargoyle stares |
dead monkeys line by line |
he gots the boxes here |
somewhere a scream proclaims |
another life begun… |
