HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED A MOONBEAM
AS IT SLITHER CROSS YOUR WINDOW-PANE?
OR STRUGGLE WITH A BIT OF RAIN?
OR DANCE ABOUT THE WEATHERVANE?
OR SETTLE ON A MOVING TRAIN AND WONDER WHERE THE TRAIN`S BEEN?
OR ON A FENCE WITH BITS OF CRAP AROUND IT`S BOTTOM,
BLOWN THERE BY WINDBEAM?
WHO SEARCHES FOR THE MOONBEAM
WHO WAS LAST SEEN LOOKING AFTER TRACKS OF THE CARELESS WINDBEAM?
MOVIN` TO THE TRACKS OF THE TIRELESS FREIGHT TRAIN,
THEN LIGHTING UP THE SITE OF THE WEATHERVANE
AND THE BITS OF RAIN, AND THE WINDOW-PANE,
AND THE EYES OF THOSE WHO THINK THEY SAW IT HAPPEN.
