When am I supposed to say so long?nWhen am I supposed to say so long?nnWhen I fall in love 'fore dusk is dawnnWhen you take my hand across the lawnnWith the eyes so sweet they're like a fawnnRed elephant is wet & long...nnHow am I supposed to wash you off?nRungs of bad poems I've hacked & coughednnBut I have to spare a breath for younWhich I'll take, before we make anewnOur hearts will take a stroll for twonOur feet will take the avenuen& Walk in unison, so cutenRed elephant is turning bluennWhy am I here when you're over there?nLet's meet at the fountainsnIn Dundas SquarenWho am I supposed to be with you?nI'll wait 'til you say & pretend I knewnnBecause if it's true that walls can talknHow mine would brag of tears I've sobbednWhen thinking of the way we walkednAlong the paths of sideway chalknForever under ticking clocknWhere you & I are free to flocknnWhat can I write when I know it's wrong?nSlapping my knee to my own damn songnWhere can we go when the sinking stops?nTo the pit of my chestnAs it drops and drops...nnPut your head upon my chest, it breathesn& My fingers through your hair they weaven& Your shoulders are the perfect seanIn which I get lost invariablynOh the elephant is up to seanIf it meets the peach fish underneathn& When I am you and you are menWe are stirred as spoons in lover's tea
