To The Child Reader
Craw
GENRE
I ask myself, with all these abilities, talent, and potential
Why do I hurt, and why am I afraid of me?
I want to get better
My host tells me to trust in these rhymes
Curious beasts of paws and claws
Curious birds of plume and feather
Strangest freaks of nature's laws
Here for ye we bring together
As I'm writing this, it's 2/14/83
I suddenly realize my host is sick
High fever, bad cough
I don't know what to do
I'm in love with a man twice my age
Owls and monkeys, pigs and bears
Hummingbirds and toads and rabbits
Hunt them to their nests and lairs
Study all their ways and habits
Lеarn how the mosquito talks, and why the wasp and hornet sting you
Lеarn the meaning of the song linnet and canary sing you
I didn't want to look through your house for paper
So I wrote it all in this book, The Tao Of Physics
I desperately need the release of
How the beaver builds his dam
How the penguin feeds her babies
Of the lobster and the clam
What their moods and manners may be
All these things, when you shall know
Write a book yourself, my dearie
For so learned you will grow
That all the world will flock to hear ye
This little lamb's a-setting
This little lamb is not
This little lamb's a-fretting
This little Christian's content with her lot
And this is a part of me no one else knows
Save me and you, now
I don't want to die
I want to get better
I don't want to die
I want to live forever
Why do I hurt, and why am I afraid of me?
I want to get better
My host tells me to trust in these rhymes
Curious beasts of paws and claws
Curious birds of plume and feather
Strangest freaks of nature's laws
Here for ye we bring together
