You want it to be like before
You want normality back
•
But I ask you, dammit,
what was normal before?
•
The beer around the corner,
the stars instead of the ceiling,
the bulging pockets,
not washing your hands?
•
Or was it the normal:
Wheel on the cart, nut in shell,
egg with yellow, a horse that shits,
an arrow pointing you in the right direction?
•
Yes, I think that was normal -
and everything else will be.
