The wind caught it and
Where
The four corners
Adventure
He paid for a new ticket
And
As he does everyday
He held on tight
No adventure for this one
Thought the man
No adventure for that one
Thought the ticket
The wind caught it and
Where
The four corners
Adventure
He paid for a new ticket
And
As he does everyday
He held on tight
No adventure for this one
Thought the man
No adventure for that one
Thought the ticket
He’ll demonstrate
Relativity
Prove when to square
E M and C
Show how to tangent
A cosine
If you will be
His valentine
He’ll use a hadron
To collide
Carbon dye
With trioxide
Split their atoms
To recombine
If you will be
His valentine
With quarks and muons
And diagrams
He’ll redesign
Lap topped programmes
That calculate
Technically
Why trigonometrically
His valentine
You should be
But all this is
Just theory
He cannot prove
Scientifically
How it could be
Reality
And now he knows
Mathematically
His valentine
You’ll never be
What should I watch
Now the paint is dry
I could apply
Another coat
That will use up some time
I know
I’ll get a slower drying paint
And watch that dry
The days will fly
And I’ll be busy
Until spring
Then I can watch the grass grow
Hopefully that will pass the time
I found a wish
It was stuck in a tree just out of reach
Even on tip toes
I wish I had something to stand on
I said to myself
I wish I hadn’t said that
I said to my new stepladder
The paper thin intestine
Pulled from within
The martyr’s prediction
Did you find it dry and hard to swallow
Or watch
As crushed to dust
It slips between fingers
