Absurdity Under

from Absurdity Under by Tim Koehn

/

lyrics

Rural intimations pass me; they blink into me--
they'll blink for you, too, where dogs curl up on ash from trash heaps,
blinking into sleep underneath...

Boys and little girls look up with no pity looking down;
dust is choking the gutters and the leaves are turning brown.
But sky cracks open with thunder, and gray absurdity under
runs into the ground.

I could get green grace from foliage, make this madness budge,
but would it get through to you?
Can these boring eyes bore into the caged bird in you?
With all these...

Boys and little girls look up with no pity looking down;
dust is choking the gutters and the leaves are turning brown.
But clouds crack open with thunder, and gray absurdity under
runs into the ground.

When you look down (or maybe just out from eyes
of kids here on the ground),
you must think how absurd we all look now
fixated on finding things that never can be found.
