Moonscapes

But, I mean, I am enchanted by you
And in no full way am I planning on
Having any dreams tonight.


I know mathematically speaking I'll live
Until 2064.  Long,
Enough to see the civil rights movement begin.
World war two will be over, Korea too (just wait for ho chi
minh, kids)


I'll tell my children to doubt me;
Calling a woman a flower is to
Say she isn't yours, and never was.


That's true.


I'll tell them to watch how I acted before they were born,
And to tell their mother too, that


All I did
Was make faces at the moon
And note how different people have pronounced my name.
