it's 7:26 and i've been awake
quiet, still
disentangle, rise
counting the beans in the grinding mill
i'm afraid of falling off the face
of earth and being hurtled into space
every day is one more revolution with you
rotate to the midway of the curve
and tarry there
the sweeping of the hands across her face
and through her hair
i have trouble staying on the ground
by myself i'd never get around
every day is one more revolution with you
but your soporific
is so terrific
23:55 and change
sidereal day
but i have trouble staying on the ground
high enough but not to go around
every day is one more revolution with you
but your soporific
is so terrific
23:55 and change
sidereal day
(Parsons)
