Protection
Peter Kingsbery
What was blank spaceHere now lies someoneWell I know this faceAnd where it comes fromThanks for crying, drinks on meIn your mother's eyeTalk of spitting imageryWe all need protectionHow to forgiveThis restless sleeperEach day we liveI'm breathing deeperThink of me the other guyWith the gravely voiceD.J. of the lullabyWe all need protectionIf I am TarzanThis must be Jane's boySweet as a lambOn his asteroidPapers are in orderSo it looks like you can stayThough why make such an entranceIn a loud abstrusive wayNo one here is innocentWe all need protection
