Turner's artistic gift is sought to a working-class dream sequence.
His visual poetry beats the factory revolt's time and place.
In a stunning display of moonshine, which erupts through the sky.
At the right, Keelmen, flat-bottom keels hauling coal along the Quay

Beneath the lasting hours of nightfall within our private dwelling;
naked feet waltz about the harmonized
silk petals eleven steps
onward to that of
the flat-bottom
vessel.
Unclothed,
laying
in the
clear
crystal foam
accompanied
by shadows
of flickering
scented
flames
and two
wine glasses
teem with Champagne.
The temperature arouses
both temples, allowing entry for torrid love.
Precipitating...Evaporating indiscriminately...Sigh...Our hearts now set to rest.

Traveling the small stream
And not the river wide
In the flat bottom boat
With a paddle and guide
The wide streams all flow
To cities of delight
Where lazy is the day
And wild the dark, dark night
All the narrow streams lead
To a quiet small village
Where church's steeple high
Instills lasting image
How well I remember
That small flat bottom boat
As the guide propelled it
To the rhythm of notes
Clear tones from the church's bells
Ringing out those old hymns
Oh, that Guide leading men
Christian come home to Him
Finis'....

On a moonlit pond
Paddle a flat bottom boat
Spotlight, Gig ready
At last you hear that deep crock
I love frog legs for breakfast

I'm so weak, suicidal by ways of you
Just walk, how could you be so cold
Off that ledge to the flat bottom
It's a stain on my clear concious
Driving you to your death is a guilty pleasure
Since the day you turned your back
I did this for you
Not at all for us
