The Reckless Sleeper

The Reckless Sleeper Copyright July 16th 2009 Corinne Curcio A dream - the landscape Rambunctious subconscious Plays hide and seek with your soul You look for clarity A crumb of charity Something to swallow whole But those in the know look backwards Light a candle and brighten the sky The mirror within offers a view Reckless Sleeper explains it all for you Dada is ca-ca And they all agree Don la chapeau without care Surrealists love The trickery of Art as a farce laid bare And those in the know look forward Eat an apple or bake in a pie The mirror within offers a view Reckless Sleeper explains it all for you Twirl me around, Rene Magritte Pas de deux on the Rue de la Paix Let's glide down the Seine Lift your umbrella again I think it might rain today And those in the know look sideways Tie a bow on a bird – watch it fly The mirror within offers a view Reckless Sleeper explains it all for you Based on the painting "The Reckless Sleeper" by Rene Magritte http://www.tate.org.uk/collection/T/T01/T01122_9.jpg
