As uncompromising and unfaltering as Kubrick
he shook and hung his head
he sighed a question
'what do you know about the temperature change'

even the sparrow wants a taste of dark
in that coalblack shadow.
filter the moonbeams and put a check on your heart
you know where you must start.

in the mirror, through the mirror
through the Looking Glass, Alice,
yes to nourishing carrots
no to drugs and stay in school.
