You Are a Treasure

You are a treasure
You’ll never be found;
Gathering coral in a galleon
Seeding anemones…
Feeding the reef
In some lagoon in Barbados
… And I must retrieve you
For I will get paid
And build a big house in Vancouver town
Living in castles a bit at a time
Walking the borders of countries
You be in these shoes, and I’ll be in those
Do you see dots when I’m talking to you?
1 lemon
2 lemons
1 rosy peach
6 lonely souls… and a moron
My mind is a porpoise
Alone on a beach
Counting the waves as it’s dying
