Stephen, I don't care How eager you are to tell About your visions The nature of black holes Your legs Will be straight And your voice Will be strong In time In time Instead, tell me How you swam Crossing the treeline How you fought Along the currents Of a northern shore The hawks howling The seals calling (North) Your toes Will gain color And your tongue Will be strong I heard what you did You joined the army, moving north What did you find? Frozen doves? Deranged penguins? I wanna know Did you find? I wanna know Where blue whales I wanna know Where blue whales make babies Do you know? I can only guess what went on in your head "Will my heart fail, when my arrow starts spinning?"
