Pariah

While i peel the banana off the peel, I see the world in motion, In hastiness, in deceit, In gaudiness, in retreat. While i eat the apple seeds I see you Senor, Clasp an unknown woman's hand While your wife waves, so grand While i drink the colored stream I see you old man, Think you tarried too much so as To be thrown out by your lads? While i bay the insects' flight I see you little one Like cranberries so naive you bloom, Anticipating world peace soon While i wipe my face with dirt I see you lovely lady, You wait for your husband every night And dream about your unsaid plight While i count the stars at night I see myself, I cry, i weep, i laugh like mad, No one sees me, lucky lad!
