not a curse for the old ruin
you lived in so long, the people
stopping to look at you like
something out of
[0046] the wall had fallen down,
reading Froggy's little brother or
making up talk, dividing yourself
in two or more then some moods and
talking to yourself that way, well
on into the night some moods till
they'd all be out on the roads looking
for you, [0049] eleven or 12 sitting in the ruin on the
[0049] flat stone in the dark or the moonlight
talking to yourself a'muttering away
now with the one voice now with the
other, till sitting there on the step
in the sun you found yourself at it
again, not a curse for the people
stopping as they went by to look at the
[0049] fogey old codger sitting there in the sun
where he had no right with his eyes closed and with the grip on
his knees drooling away out loud
and the white hair pouring down, from
out from under his hat, sat there
forgetting it in the morning sun for-
getting it all [0052] making it up as he you
went, making himself yourself all up again out loud
[0055] the ground & the white hair pouring pouring out from under the hat,
out
not a thoug straight on down neither right nor left not another thought in your
mind only get on the boat and away
out to hell out of it and never come
[0055] back, or was that another time, was
all that another time, was there ever
any other time than that, away
out to hell out of it and never come
back.
[0041] what in god's name year was that
