Call the crier, let the people know
that the best-laid plans of mice and men
now lay on the other end of a long winter
frost cut the root and send me
wandering, briefly in catatonia,
Catalonia-
what difference does it make?
Ask Emma, ask Alex, they'll tell you-
from far away, everything looks fallen,
and the trees still are falling,
what was the case, ever,
for thinking it would stop?
Some people said
they could scientifically prove
that things would get better- this idea
is incomplete- I should complete it
with what I think- and I guess
I just don't know, oh,
and I guess
I just don't know... herrrr-ooooo-ines
like Emma, like Hilda,
will tell ya,"This is how it's done-
in Havana."
with their lovely Catalonian Teaching-Assistants:
Betrayal and Survival 101.
Listen to those T.A.'s
those Tee-Aaaaay-ZEE
dwellers, we are free,
and freedom is a strange and vertiginous thing
in the winter- winter may be followed by spring,
here comes the sun
set, but it's hard to fade away
when life and freedom are that-away, and you are
on the other side of a long winter.

1. A Few Lines by Groucho Marx

Did you ever sit and ponder as you walk along the strand,
That life's a bitter battle at the best;
And if you only knew it and would lend a helping hand,
Then every man can meet the final test.
The world is but a stage, my friend,
And life is but a game;
And how you play is all that matters in the end.
For whether a man is right or wrong,
A woman gets the blame;
And your mother is your dog's best friend.
Then up came mighty Casey and strode up to the bat,
And Sheridan was fifty miles away.
For it takes a heap of loving to make a home like that,
On the road to where the flying fishes play.
So be a real-life Pagliacc' and laugh, clown, laugh.
