An Orphan of Fortune

It can't stop now

The signs keep changing on me

Like a shimmering bell

Long waves enveloping me

And my plastic mind,

So chewed and shrieking all the time

Feels it whirling by

Morning, afternoon then night

And I can't get down

If I don't feel right

Polishing off the sand

Lay by me

And we'll erode

As gently as we can

Into twilight
