Satie


N.N. not no-one never naïve notes.
Somebody not just anybody please.
Poor Tom-like his mantelpiece of keys.
Whatever floats your boat your overcoat
Toy soldier marching down up down upstairs
Engineer of origins, tradesman of space
Once upon once upon once upon thrice
Hammering hardware, his waltz on a chair.
Was it ever gods treading ivory paths
Golden age pieces from the Attic attic
Where sunlight unloosed long staccato laughs,
Or only just Monsieur with one umbrella
Cool boulevardier, flaneur of static,
Paris where rain taps and fingers turn yeller?
