Left Hand Song
too much time spent
trying to crawl into a hole
and trying to crawl out of that hole
I followed a path of a piece of bread traveling
from one little sparrow's beak
to another little sparrow's beak
he picked it up, flew with it and then dropped it, then
this other one picked it up and flew with it and again
then they broke it into pieces
ate it up and forgot that it ever existed
they were still hungry, at the end
they were still hungry at the end
I was inside my office at the time
and I got real scared
thought I saw two snakes slithering
then I remembered
snakes don't live in carpeted areas
too much time spent
and I'm spent
there is an old meatball wrapped inside of tinfoil
lying on the bottom shelf of our fridge
a lesson in how fleeting preservation is
trying to crawl into a hole
and trying to crawl out of that hole
I followed a path of a piece of bread traveling
from one little sparrow's beak
to another little sparrow's beak
he picked it up, flew with it and then dropped it, then
this other one picked it up and flew with it and again
then they broke it into pieces
ate it up and forgot that it ever existed
they were still hungry, at the end
they were still hungry at the end
I was inside my office at the time
and I got real scared
thought I saw two snakes slithering
then I remembered
snakes don't live in carpeted areas
too much time spent
and I'm spent
there is an old meatball wrapped inside of tinfoil
lying on the bottom shelf of our fridge
a lesson in how fleeting preservation is
