Teach me new tricks
I haven't learned anything new
In some odd years
So many years it's been and I've survived beyond you
Birds great and small
From the balcony they call
And they seep into a drunken dream
That I had dreamt about you
Some like to lean on something virtuous and kind
Someone to keep in mind
Crawl from the hearth
Salamanders inching forth
Too much time
Far too much time has passed
And now I start to feel it
When the sun sets
Get as quiet as you can
Hear the worms
As they turn
And I swear you'll see them glisten
