Living On Beyond Your Wildest Dr.
when you have a writer you have
when you have a country you have a page of
when you have a seam to give importance to your
when you have a sea monster you need
when you have two during his one
when you have the advantage of the sun behind
when you have nothing below you but
a big place knows when to say goodbye to its tenants
when you have gone so deep into a long tunnel and heard
when you have to say what you say you would never say to
when you have a history it fails to meet
when you have all these strange people fathering your
when you have important plays you might perform at
when you have no use for the times in which
when you have his boy though he wanted
a good landlord will give the land to another lord on his deathbed
when you have these specimens from under the water near
when you have the best part and his expression makes you
when you have given him your self-looking mirror and set it
when you have had it preset since
when you have known all about what he left when
when you have pictures of when we were small where
when you have back the pictures he took when he left you at
to be locked on all three sides by water is called fathering the egress
when you have one hand only
when you have the willingness to hand the torch to someone who is
when you have met your father and together you
when you have no land to picture as
when you have the next change ready before
when you have told the time that it came from
when you have been laid in frost and began to
for the pleasure of a different sound it might be your chosen work to hear
when you have sent for the head teller to complain about
when you have snatched a clump of what went on top of
when you have said the words as if as if you wanted life to become
when you have met and married all those who have waited in your
when you have been called
when you have the calm to be in the air current from a passing
when you have the composure to float in the light of a drifting
you have been sent to testify against the man who fell out of sight
when you have the evidence against a prehistoric beast of unknown
when you have to cross miles of thorns where it seems
when you have tomorrow’s times and refuse to read the new
when you have caused a man to say
when you have the right they gave you back the day you
when you have the line to show the writer you no longer need
when you have a sound only you can hear from the day he
there is only water until you swim away
