how am i to know
what bricks must be laid?
when the game has been played-
which seeds should be sown
what garden must be grown?
will this house still stand to show?
there's really no way for me to know.

if i am the question-master,
i am Father Time's slave
for he holds all the answers
but chases only his own grave

there's nothing to be done,
save reclining in space-
while trying to become one
with this Mother Earth's place,
where lives her many daughters
and also her Sun
under which we lay
-sparkling & suffering-
there's nothing to be won.
