HOW WE GO ON

How we go on


I have heard some secrets yes
But none that I desired
Here then, some of my own 

I have heard the call by day
Of adventure in the forest 
That turned to gloom at dusk

I have eaten many fat plates
Lay my boots, let the grass enter
Felt the head rot grow like gout

I have bellowed my griefs
With fist with chest with mouth
And had the wind kicked out

I have played the fool in my own court
Asked myself riddles that I alone knew
And royally confused the answer

How we go on, I do not know
But there's one thing I've learnt
You are always giving what you ask for
But never what you want
