Seldom Meteor Showers
today the heat sticks to youlike a honey bee
after killing the queen
and like your reptile relatives
you were not endowed with
any way of cooling down
walk against all the grain
that your family took the
liberty of laying down
cos you are alive
your cold blood turns warm
and your bony back stays strong
i survive meteor showers
everyday
and i step over the highest mountains
everyday
i'm seeing reds
deep reds
aah aah aah aah
