Hudson River
Cannonball Statman

Under the sun.

Out of the blue,

on Amsterdam Avenue,

a baker's dozen red birds flew by you,

screaming into your ears.

Screaming I know what's goin' on with you;

it's nothing new!

It's just that same old fractal

repeating over your eyes,

into your ears,

on your hands.

A baker's dozen red birds

flew westward

into the Hudson River that day.

It's a strange thought, but what do you do

when you've gotta run?

We're getting to the point where we can finally steal

our hands back from the box of miscellaneous garbage stolen

confiscatingly by the police;

but it's not gonna be hard for the police,

even though it's hard

for everyone.

This machine is breaking down;

it's time to pull the plug on the neon clown.

We're getting to the point where we can finally steal

our lives back from the sky, where they've been held eternally,

under lock and key (solitarily) by the police;

but it's not gonna be hard for the police

to break into our homes.
