We have no Middle Ages
We have no Ancient World

The indigenous were killed
To reservations they were hurled

The Pequoud: it does sink
Like distant mystic Atlantis

Melville was prophetic
Like a praying mantis

I've been to New York City
Trinity Church in Boston

I've walked the Labyrinth
Yes, I've got lost in

Today I stay inside
Wait for autumn's chill

Fall we do indeed
When the warcry is to ****.
