She married a man who forwards his mail
For good luck, and plays Voodoo
He’s queened the pawn while you’re still rooking
Vagueness gives a chance to move
But they have found a way to prove
That the world exists even when nobody’s looking
A motherless child taught me to
Live without the fear of loss through
The empty space, as you go Peter Brooking
I’ve lost many a sisters to distance
And I lost my thesis against a haiku
So I construe I shouldn’t have been snoozing
I’ve lost enlightenment to virtue
Well, who told you it was ever true
That somebody wins when somebody’s losing?
