I've often dreamt of a conversation |
|
That just keeps on coming up again and again |
|
We're sitting in the baby bar bereft |
|
At a shadowy table out past the sentence's end |
|
It's an emergency without end |
|
From until it's no longer fun |
|
To that's no longer relevant |
|
From until we're no longer one |
|
To the bona fide embodiment |
|
Of an endless emergency without end |
|
We're an endless emergency without end |
|
We often stop in these conversations |
|
Things we say here stay here forever, amen |
|
When everything seems either funny or lousy |
|
Funny or lousy, that's where it usually ends |
|
We're an emergency without end |
|
From until it's no longer fun |
|
To that's no longer relevant |
|
From until we're no longer one |
|
To that's no longer permanent |
|
From the last survivors of those terms |
|
To the bona fide embodiment |
|
Of an endless emergency without end |
|
We're an endless emergency without end |
|
We're an endless emergency without end |
|
We're an endless emergency without end |
|
But your finger starts to wiggle |
|
And landscapes emerge |
