one of these days we'll be discovered

one of these days we will be discovered

 

little corner, too much information

then it will be as if we were sought

though that cannot be the case

 

some ones will come here to this place

which isn’t one at all

and ear to the soil of our saying

 

one of these days we’ll go through the wash

come out gospel clean

sleep like babies in there

 

it will be a small day

smug rounded for glory

some call triumph too

 

the day of vindication play

like Jesus on the water always was a bird

like sesamum Buddha

like Bouraq for a Houyhnhnm 

and we’ll be Struldbrugs then

 

it’ll be on POET’S day of course

sometime and soon

with a weekend lovely looming

 

cheese and chalk

a toffeyed nose

tricks of all along the way –

the cheering we’ll begin!

 

we’re building our pyramid

inside out, top down

bit of a leap and it’s a pyre too

 

the universe is closing now

time is almost over

but one of these days we’ll be discovered

we’re the team coming out on the pitch

 

everyone will join in

ring to the echo

 

we’ll find ourselves of course first

work out who to be

 

till then my humble hunch is

it’s safe for us in here
