Have you seen the crazy man
who shuffles when he speaks
Mumbles with a broken stride
and ties his shoeless feet?
Have you seen the broken woman
carting round her home?
Shopping in a garbage can
Garbage shopping cart alone
Have you seen the intellect
religious physics in his head
He understands the missing cat
and knows that it's not dead
Have you seen them all together
when they're all apart?
Bumbling old shoes
A newer cart home
Calculated prayers and art
I have seen them
I've seen all three
Folding my newspaper blanket
I have them all for tea

Have you seen the crazy man
who shuffles when he speaks
Mumbles with a broken stride
and ties his shoeless feet?
Have you seen the broken woman
carting round her home?
Shopping in a garbage can
Garbage shopping cart alone
Have you seen the intellect
religious physics in his head
He understands the missing cat
and knows that it's not dead
Have you seen them all together
when they're all apart?
Bumbling old shoes
A newer cart home
Calculated prayers and art
I have seen them
I've seen all three
Folding my newspaper blanket
I have them all for tea
