Gloria Leonard

And now it's getting darker

Or so it would seem

And if out of this comes nothing

Then maybe nothing is what I mean

Raise a dusty eyelid

To a window in the south

See that part of Europe

Has discovered my big fat mouth

Notice on completion

This strange change has occurred

Small pieces of your lung

Strewn about the spoken word

Ooh, the goofiness we can create

Understand or understate

Let's turn back before it's too late

So that we could appreciate

Brittle core the correspond

The society of living alone
