Sphagnum Esplanade |
| How lovely a find |
| That’s entered my mind |
| Along this mossy trail |
| How coyly it hides |
| The truth about how it is |
| We can’t ask how |
| Crowds jump to their death |
| From the bridge as I drive by tonight |
| And they’ve missed out on it all |
| The whole gist there as they fall |
| You’re not expected to know why it’s such a short time |
| And there are stanzas never meant to rhyme |
| Far better I find |
| It is when we try to span |
| The weird divide |
| With no real rationale |
| We step out of bounds |
| And think and escape their lies |
| We’ve marched so long |
| And we’ve much farther than we’ve gone to go |
| We’re making a new ship |
| Christen it for the trip |
| With a toddler at the helm this time |
| And there are things we never will define |
| Crowds jump to their deaths |
| From the bridge as I drive by tonight |
| And they missed out on it all |
| The whole gist there as they fall |
| You’re not expected to know why it’s such a short time |
| And there are things we never will define |
