The Stars and Icarus
Icarus fell in love with the stars
And he set out to take them off the sky
So they will shine only for him
He flapped his lonesome black wings
And flew upwards and upwards
The clouds blocked his way
So with a pursing motion he made with his lips
He slurped up and swallowed the clouds down into his belly
As they were God’s divine milkshake
And he flew upwards and upwards
The Sun blocked his way
So with a sucking motion he made with his mouth
He sucked on and swallowed the Sun down into his belly
As it was God’s divine anti-cough candy drop
And he flew upwards and upwards
The Moon blocked his way
So with a chewing motion he made with his teeth
He crushed it and swallowed the Moon down into his belly
As it was God’s divine white bread-dough
And he flew
Up, up, up, up
Until he reached the stars
And with a longing motion he made with his whole
He opened himself to make them his own
But there was no more place left for the stars within him
And he fell
Down, down, down, down
And as he fell
He threw up the Moon,
He threw up the Sun,
And he vomited the clouds back as well
And all order was restored to the world
For the stars would not be torn that day
Out of Order
First, God created himself
Then he created the Earth
And people to populate it with
Right in that order
And he saw that the order was just
If it wasn’t, it would’ve all fallen apart
So, after I created myself
I, then created people
And I created Earth to populate them with
And the world collapsed
Right in that order
An Official Removal of the Nicknames
Two man wonders
Sitting in the morning
If the colour of the sky is the same
As the colour of the awning
They both agree that they know
That they can’t know
What they can’t know
When they know it
Two man ponders
In the shadow of their frames
In the end, they shake hands
And remove each other’s nicknames
