Overheard
From Long Count: A Song of Days:
Mr., you better drink some water,
Mr., you
Better wake up now, Mr.?
It’s hot out here. You can go into the mall, you know,
cause it’s got air. Mr.?
Mr… ?
I’ll sing to you…
Will you be awake when the clouds roll in,
over your shoulders and under your skin?
Will you be there when the sea turns to sand
when the Annunaki return to the land?
Will you walk through a dust storm to find what you’ve lost?
To rescue the babies all caught in the fog?
Cause we’re singing the song, and it’s a long time come,
Radioman please play it for once,
Play it along, on your little toy drum,
I’ll be singing, and singing when the storm’s begun.
