What Do You Think Will Happen Now?
The difficulties of my storyDespite discomforts, despite myself, II reaffirm my endless devotion To the belief thatWe're all of value, we're all of virtueAnd so inclined we fill up our cups and toast to each otherAnd though I listen to the argumentsThat most divergent systems employ toDebilitate us, delineate us,Repackage our words, demystify us,I unceasingly affirm my love canCannot be measured, cannot be altered.I know, I know it, I do affirm itWith overzealous obscurantismWith every word and With every gestureI must express itI can't define itBut all the same I know I can describe it(I walk o'er bridges and see the riverA marble statue the sun has weather'dThe stubbornness of the overgrowth andThe old memorials covered in snow We've written the way the universe will goSongtexteA righteous white horse, a man with a bowA sharpened bit of the mistletoeScissors of fate or the fire of SurturThough we're divided, the force of natureWill put us all in the ground together)This morning I must get upTo see the world around me.Right away, what I forgotIn seeing ourselves as words upon a paperThe sun is upMy arms are wideI am a good manI am yours
