Is this that most uncertain day
When new thoughts rising
Demand their say
Breaking with past ways thought secure
That like broken icebergs, face warming waters pure
Met in life changed, as sons and daughters
And other melted sirens of various kinds.
Water is water, so it is all singing say
So why not merge with us today
For Sun’s hot, and rousing us to fly
Into forming clouds that fill the sky
Or stay firm as ice you can see in heading south
To butt into brothers like yourself
To in the end make full southern amends
By becoming ice-lands once again.
So when you’re ground and melted down
And all can see, what in the past you’ve found
Will they believe you, from far north or south
Or think stranger meltings fill their mouth
Or just murmur, smile, and shake their head
And not give a lick for what’s been said
Since ice is ice, whether north or south
Or in a drink heading for your mouth
No matter where your ice journey led...
Instead of rain, it’s just piss instead.
