I stalked a mammoth half past eight
I stitched a net from the skin of a skate
I shaped tooths into axes and spades
I sprouted spears in Lebanon glades

So then I lanced ‘glossums by their snow lips
I wrestled with saptrunks until pears dripped
I hunted dragonflirts for their glass eyelids
I smuggled Godzilla.

‘Cause why not?

Now I have slathered my bathrooms in gold
I have now learned every language and tome
I now have seared on the ancient sashed robe
And I have seen all that this Place holds

As queen of gold fish and sage of shells
I chewed cherry pits until I swelled
There is nothing new to tell
Under the sun in my diamond cell

Meaningless, meaningless! Came the cry
My crown of lilacs will wither and die
I seek the bloodthorn crest divine
For nothing else is worth my time.
