flocks of pink geese

I never wanted to stay in
the garden
I mean, there were several
shades of flowers in there
All those magical rare and
sculpted trees
And who could ever be
displeased
With that?

Right?

And I wasn't, I was...
Awed, overwhelmed, just
completely at peace
Almost....in love ...boy!!...
Those great flocks of pink
geese!!!

But most love is a lie right?
Illusion at best, I mean it
either leaves you or hurts
you...
There is always a test

I only ever found it while
chasing that ball,
Which... went as balls do...
High up over the wall and,

The gate was unlocked, so I
let myself in
And already I felt like the
Biggest big sin

It was lush in there see, like
a heaven or something
And a heaven is not really
someplace to stumble in

But that stream boy, that
stream!
By the shady blue hill, even
the grass seemed asleep
and tranquil

It nearly got me for sure,
But hey, I'm too smart for
that
I turned and I tippy toed
back through that gate

Ran my arse home
Just as fast as could be
Cos, well... heaven could
wait,
It just wasn't for me
