jealous of the light

Categorize your children's books
and send them off to school
slit your throat with a pocket knife
and scream that the world is cruel

Well you were once a little baby,
perhaps a little girl that surrounded
the world with her mind and now they're
trying to surround you with the world

They killed off your playmate who
fell beneath the wheels of a car
and they even destroyed your animal
that grasped the wind as it unfurled.

Well doves are made for magic tricks
and rabbits appear from under hats
and the idea is to be either first or
to be last, because when you are under
any stone they try to tell you how it feels
and remember that they're not serving you
turkey dinners so that you enjoy the meals.

It's essence time, where you interpret the spirit
and let the laws run dry, it's essence time where
you let the omens show you the path you're on
and how to change, and how to fly.
