Value it

We silently guessed the rhythm
The bass that mocks the day
Eventually it comes to stop
And shall slip down at bay

I smacked the clock back in
Chirping sticks like rickets
Like jumping on a silver spoon
And swallow what it pickets

We broke the smoke at dawn
Of clouds and silver wind
Of plans of prejudiced nonsense
Simply because it gives a dint

I dreamt about the lullabies
A stranger used to sing
By now life has won a billiard
A poke to make you sting

We silently grew out the house
Mother still stirring the pan
A drowned swan left the door
Adjoined by a broken man
