The world keeps turning no matter whether we understand that everything is connected to us I watch from the scenery gently strumming tears on my guitar The floor is ***** There are no residents Everyone is busy with other things and passes by love I watch from the scenery gently strumming tears on my guitar

Strumming tears
What's the point of the stars if they only fly to mock us To tell of a world beyond that thick blanket of night A moon victory above them all tells of coliseums of the cosmos A giant in a game we were never asked to play The sun burns itself to nothing And we catch the ashes, plant fields with its offcuts Never tasting banquet, never knowing super nova Alone in the dirt beneath life Currents blow overhead, pushing ice and rock As balloons let adrift, finding freedom in emptiness While our feet only know tracks and fields, grass and mud Life with food and sleep, not soul or poetry. Crooked grow our limbs and we think ourselves mighty Gangly forms dancing tiny While great domes of landscapes given face Smile at each other and speak Venus, Apollo, Mercury, Hades All principles in the sky, too graceful to be understood And not wanting our foul tentacles of knowledge To grip them, happy to keep away from Us oily things. No, I don't like being human I don't like being greasy
