The conductor's baton is at rest
and the white squares of paper
are not litter.
They are script notes
for the lyrics:
Our voice is tried and true.
You can see us
and if we had eyes,
we could see you

Reminds me of a children's song we used to sing
ReplyDeleteat Dawn Lake in Gilead, Ohio.
See the seaweed by the shore,
right under our nose.
But if we were on our knees,
we'd see more.
I like that song partly because it exemplifies
Deletesomething I learned seventy years ago
on the north shore of Long Island:
Seaweed is one of the most
pun-worthy words in the English language
