The abyss 5/26/20

 The cradle rocks

Above the abyss

80 years have come and gone

And I still don't feel like I belong

I am an outsider just looking in

Almost always with a grin

This freak-show has become really funny

I watch the scramble for fame and money

A garden patch or a flower bed

I'll create joy each instant till I'm dead

Until that day I'll worked to spread

The good news that it's all in our head

The cradle rocks

Above the abyss

V Nabokov
