A spaceship
Carrying the answers
But I'm crashing through
The atmosphere
In a dream.
Maybe you're
The world in a society
Sailing in the deepest sea.
What if the whale that swam
Down the Thames in 2003
Is no more than a
gimmick some distant billionaire
Commissioned for publicity
In the year 2323.
He'll be cryogenically frozen, obviously.
Not the whale, the billionaire
- and I'm not talking Free Willy
And I'm not talking fiction;
I'm not taking Disney.
What if the sun came up in
A mandarin you put in a glass
And drank. Does that make you special?
To be this sun-harbouring person
From now on
Or are you a recipient of circumstances?
Somewhere in this world
There exists a window with bird crap
Smeared in the shape of a cage
And the bird nowhere to be seen.
I'd like to see it someday.
