(Where Are We Going and Why Am I in This) Handbasket

Just a basket
Straw and clay
Polystyrene
Melts away
The big river
Follows you
Drags behind it
Brown and blue
Are you floating are you in it?
Are you in or out of love?
Let the waves take you home now
Watch for ravens there’s no doves
You can’t blame her
She’s no fool
Repetition
Makes the rule
Hold on tightly
Will it float?
Who’s to wonder?
Who’s to know?
Down the stream or down into it
As the waves and maelstroms swell
Add some more tears to the river
Please do better please do well
If you dream of waves and seaweed
As you look up from the floor
When you reach the ocean safely
You’ll be pleased to know there’s more
There’s always so much more
Always so much more
Always so much more
