"Jungle"
(from "Whirlwind Tongues")
________________________________________
(Narrator:)
I'm lost in the jungle, not really minding at all.
Just one thing bothers me, how did I get here?
When you're in the jungle, what do you do for fun?
Dance with an antelope?
I doubt it.
Speechless creatures and their families
Look at me with thought filled eyes.
Plants and reptiles
Knowing things I'll never know.
(Animal voices:)
"Just who is that beast?
Tell us what he wants!
Doesn't have much hair---
Neither back nor front.
Could he be a tree?
Not without some bark
Maybe he's a friend
Let's go ask the aardvark."
(More animal voices:)
"Just who is that beast?
What was that he said?
Not what you'd expect
From a quadruped.
Doesn't speak the tongue
Of the jungle fowl.
Doesn't have the smell
Of the wolf that howls."
(Narrator:)
When I think about it, crocodiles aren't all that crude,
Even though they don't know how I got here.
I'm trapped in delusion,
Lost in the kingdom of dreams.
Could this be serious?
I doubt it.
