In the wilderness uncountable voices
|
earplugs for the birds and the animals
|
and blinders for your beast of burden, the will for learning
|
these books were made for burning
|
in the wilderness
|
beneath the ancient sand lies crushed and tanned those sapphire girls
|
may we never forget you
|
Alert status red
|
but the sun comes up instead
|
In the wilderness the only place to find freedom is in the dictionary
|
under "F"
|
men in holes, men in caves, men in chains I ask but the store clerk needn't check
|
man I forget which came first
|
the bad idea or me befallen by it?
|
not giving a shit may we never forget you
|
Alert status red
|
but the sun comes up instead
|
In the wilderness
|
senile live the zealous
|
lost to the treasures that compel us
|
muted down like patriots amiss
|
you know I'm jealous of how you can just turn them off
|
those bad ideas that feel so soft
|
may they never forget you
|
Alert status red
|
but the sun comes up instead
|
