Countervail

I told you to be little
You didn’t know why
Signal bead of spittle
Not rain from the sky

I told you to be small
Be stealthy, go unseen
Under a rock go crawl
There display your sheen

I’m telling you it’s frightening
Listen, I can spare you pain
Like a rod you’ll draw lightening
Walk away from my tired refrain
