surly enough
the reeds will hide
again
what has been hidden
what can be
hidden when the stories read as planned
surly enough
the diaphragms will hold
messages unsent
obtaining justice in the halls of atoms splitting
before our very eyes
severing lights
dividing lies
breading beneath the stars
messages
interpreted in leisure
if at all
surly enough
when enough has resigned
there will be room to live without you
the You
is not understood
and
"who knows" has been said to many times
surly enough your cattle numbers will grow
and grow
and grow
and grow
and grow
and grow and
grow
until there is nothing but greed the dwarfs and cattle
