SOFA to SOFA

I found my heaven in the hurt,

i seen the stars in the dirt,

been sleepin later,

sweepin statement,

keepin paper in my purse.

So i said , what's the worth , is there any life on earth?

Just one more step and then I lifted the Curse.

Did you ever wake up screaming , cos you dreamt you were dreaming,

a pocketful of plastic poetry, keeps me breathing-

an' i said , what's it worth ,

is there any life on earth?

just one more step and then lifted the curse.....

I moved from sofa to sofa , since eighteen years or over and I think I'm getting closer to that land of four leafed clover cos i been , diving for cover without telling others my shit ,and now I'm getting sick of it in the dark down in my pit .

so this is it ,

what's that?

Pat ,on the back,

I clap my hands

and iron my iron shirt ,

So is this , going to hurt?

It depends, are you afraid of dirt?

Well, I am made of earth -and it is worth the work.

"made alive by the good brown earth

and fresh with the breath of herb and tree

made alive by the good brown earth

and fresh with the breath of herb and tree"....

So I speak my misty language

From my corner of the hall

And delve in dusty dictionaries

Thinking of us all,

and i refine the heiroglyphs

that got me in this ball

and i wait for my instructions


and the luncheon bell to call.
