Being but men we staggered
beneath the trees
thumbing thru the leaves (books)
in case anyone wanted to read them
A long gone time ago
It was always night then
except during the day
Blossom books in a language
we could read
light coming out of them
& some of it stained our eyes
It just happened that way
no reason but rhyme
& the line we learned to walk
beneath the trees
on the streets of a lost world
