The wind knocks me in the door
Liquid seeps through the window sill’s pores
The spider turns around and gives up
She can’t catch any friends her net’s all torn
Ok, but
Where does all the water come from?
From the top of the tallest mountain
From which it flows down to all of us
We could find out more if we could only catch up to the bus
And where do all the nutrients go?
To the depths of Neptune’s castle
A strong case to eat sea vegetables
They are grown in our eroded topsoil
I’m so sensitive to cold
They drilled me down and made a mold
In order to return first you must go
So say words I have read and been told.
