Someday when you want to find me Look for someone whose patron is inborn adversity. I will be Angkor Wat whose foundation rots, And the temple still stands. Look in the oasis for an arrogant rider, Whose horse strives to throw her off at every turn, Yet she is still clinging on, And thinks herself a rider of Dragons and scaly lizards. In the reflections on the surface of her eyes, I will be there right now, And she will be a different human, The kind of icon I always thought I would become. Look for the specter of madness and fatigue, There you will find my fully-fledged self. When we look at babies And tell them they will grow into beautiful young women We don't even know what we're saying.
