Lemmings

En mass, a colossal fedora covering entire islands lunar eclipses Move in constant rhyme Pebbles the size of mighty thunderheads And rivers with caps will not hold you back Just a matter of time swarm the meadows and the forests leave clues but insufficient for the sleuth invincible, not corrupt but not holy, but why? counter the swells conquer the precipice for the journey is inimitably divine leap and bound not hungry unfeeling unseeing unmovable untouchable mortal not corrupt but not holy, but why? get there you will like millions of flying squirrels dancing on clouds surmount the highest of cliffs in the lightest of air leap to the next stone fall and drift, tumble and glide scurry in mid flight oh your bellies must buckle Oh why bounce your essence off the rocks of the sea bodies no more to be? not corrupt but not holy, but why?
