I am the only warm body here Let me alone with my pen, We want to consider the future Will there be birds? Will there be bees? Will there be grass? When all this progress has come to pass. Will we still call each other James or John? I am the only one still awake All of the thinkers are sleeping chained to their waking spells Tell me one thing, then one thing more Bow down your head and exit the room via the nearest door That leads back to the din from this enormous town Turn out the light and come to bed I see your head, i hear you heart and they both crave sleep Will there be peace? Will there be love? Will there be moments when the sky is freed from these omens That others leave racing by day and by night In such a rush to be so far away
