Interlude I (Ripe & Ruin)

She, she, she, she only ever -ver
Walk to to count count her steps
Eighteen teen strides and she stops to abide
By the law that she herself has set
That eighten steps is one complete set
And before the next nine right and nine left
She looks up up at the blue
And whispers to all of the above

Don't let me drown, don't breathe alone
No kicks no pines no broken bones
Never let me sink
Always feel at home
No sticks no shanks and no stones
Never leave it too late
Always enjoy the taste
Of the great great great grey world of hearts
As all dogs everywhere bark bark bark bark
It's worth knowing
Like all good fruit, the balance of life is in
The ripe and ruined
