“Sneak up on me and I’m gone
because I don’t trust Man
especially Man sitting in my forest
beside a campfire
you’ll grab me
make me work for you
remember? The way you used to?
took me out to sea
and when you got lost
which was all the time
flung me overboard
and steered behind me
knowing I would find dry land
and the great god Wotan walking around
with a raven on each shoulder
left shoulder to do his thinking
right shoulder to do his remembering
and you all the time
thinking he was a god
so he needed to be brilliant?”
