Geology Lesson

I'm listening
But I can't hear a thing
Gracious sentiment
Becomes hard sediment
One night revelation
Another serene
	and I just don't look back where I've been
	anymore

Sharp signal
Give me poetic vision
Cause for vitality
Create for me fission
The spark of electric humanizing fire
Is failing me
Cutting off the wire

Can't get my rocks off
Sedimental sentiment
Pertinent to all involved
No one speaks the truth

1984
