Once In the Land of Walkside

Once In The Land Of Walkside Once in the land of Walkside See blue the leaf sighed Electric passed through rainbows by the tides Sky fixed itself a drink of day in pastel gray Trees naked, bare of green, shape themselves into tomorrow Shade Fades with yellows on the march Sun hung there outside to dry Here comes a list…. Take notes String, paper, bald gorgo, square sand, chalk, iron, refineries List is finished. Stop taking notes. Seas that rumble on the Walkside slide away Stairs and ladders go on in one direction Here comes another list. Take more notes Salt, vegetation, carbon, more bald gorgos, bubble tower, starch, lemon End of list…. Stop taking notes Electricity once came in multicolored bands Moved only to the left Time ran back on calculated circles in the watch Here comes another list… Prepare to take notes Water, insect prayer, coin, great plates, no more gorgos, metal, more lemon, stone Lists ended… No more notes…. Stop taking notes Morning pinks are incomplete but happy See blue the leaf sighed Once in the land of Walkside
