5371. NOMENCLATURE AT ROCK BOTTOM

NOMENCLATURE 
AT ROCK BOTTOM
Every beast that ever was had a name : the biology books
tell it, platy helmentis to amoeba three.  They've all been
there alone. Now that the mighty have fallen, I have a soul
to bless : lonesome guy behind bars but not at them. 
No way to be drunk at one in the afternoon.
-
I don't wish to be motivated any longer than this.
The light was on in the canyon, the sun was pushing
up high, everybody was certain it was to be the end.
-
Up before the dawn of time, who made time and then who
made dirt? It all had to be started like a wind-up watch
set to run? I'll never know, but I know I'll never tell.
