"--see it starts with fish, and after a long time compressed into a staggery blur of events, we have our first mammals and flowers, which then become deified with a slide into science which causes man to lurch forward all bowler hatted until it's time to go--"

--giving me two strong arms to protect myself
giving me so much love i that i forget myself--

set one:
it starts with graces in the park
before the dancing in the dark
middle ages have their wonder
as we wonder of elsewheres tropical
while watching the growth of the topical
blossoming in the light
despite the imps at our feet
we talk together when we meet
with a bright wash of welcome
as you wave a webbed hand
for the babies in our band

set three:
now witches watch our mail
as women get drawn down to scale
to flee from the watchful sky born eye
hit the highway
fill out your mecha-nize forms and facts
and you will be given the way to the carvinal acts
the secrets inside may surprise you
as does our well meaning way

set four:
creatures of all shapes and size
can't do much for our crude demise
but girls with gifts exude their mystique
despite the movie star miasma you seek
inner joys and terror give quarter
even as armies march to slaughter
look up in worry as we present
a storm cloud objective when heard with intent
