Hear it?


Haunting droner

'off to see the world.........'

- sing it, Andy -

'you've such a lot of world to see......'

you left your shell at the side of the back door

a study in black and white, paint and stucco

with an ugly (to us?) intricate vestige added.

You did not come from outer space(s)

or twenty thousand leagues under;

just slightly underground

working your magic for seventeen years

and now time to sing

with a limited range -
easy listening without hearing,

but we hear you.
