How I wonder about you
Darling Indifference
How I admire you growing
Sophisticated image of sorrow
Elegant and easy-going
How I hate you and thank you
For saving my life despite the flood
I never asked for mercy
Was it the wish of God?
Cautiously you took my hand
Offered me food and a tiny raft
Made me forget about the wasteland
Around me and in my heart
Softly you whispered the facts
The truth I didn’t want to see
I needed his love to believe in
But did he, really, ever need me?
Since then I’ve lived on a desert island
Growing peace, patience and fruit
Until I met one sunny morning
A Mister Friday in bathing suit
