Like sprinkling Fred who waters the flowers outside her door He's probably not well read but has much fun from nine to four And when he's in bed she digs up dead flowers in a chore a chore limitless, she can only ask for more
She thinks: Two snow rabbits burrowed deep within a snowbank Call it a habbit they sleep around cold like a riverbank Ears, fur, noses small bits their eyes are closed and they have nothing to thank
Outside the sun sets brilliantly the city's pollution makes a fantastic prism And she step by steps up the staircase each wooden partition creaking in response Fred lays sleeping, tucked away in dreams and she pushes his bed off into a river the black water carries him away, away She is left on the sand, waving Fred away, away
