To sit is a blessed thing<\/p>\n
To sing a song while you sit
\nAnd put out your hat while you sing<\/p>\n
Wearing dignified clothing
\nWhile people fill your
\nCavernous hat with silver<\/p>\n
To be naked beneath those silken clothes<\/p>\n
To grow feathers through your nakedness
\nLaunch into the air singing
\nLike a meadowlark
\nLike a chorus of geese
\nWith water in their migratory eyes<\/p>\n
To sit on that water wearing your hat
\nYour hat full of coins jingling merrily
\nThat awful melody that took
\nYour naked beautiful body away from us<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
