Back To Base
Been away
Been on the wrong page
But in the right story
Been in Anansi’s web
But it broke, but it broke
I peeked into another world
Saw a message
It said: “I am no smily Dr Law”
It said: “Go, go, go...”
So I went to where the answers grow...
And I picked a red flower
Someone crushed it under the pestle
Touched the juice to my lips...and my tongue
And it was strong...strong... strong I say...
Two days I felt calm, almost three,
Four was absurd...
Finally so sick, then so well...
I watch a disabled boy play with earth in the park
We enjoy the warm sunshine of a spring afternoon
His younger brother sits next to me on the bench
He has many questions
