The myriad choices of his fate
\nSet themselves out upon a plate
\nFor him to choose
\nWhat had he to lose<\/p>\n
Not a ghost bloodied country
\nAll covered with sleep
\nWhere the black angel did weep
\nNot an old city street in the east
\nGone to choose<\/p>\n
And wandering’s brother
\nWalked on through the night
\nWith his hair in his face
\nOn a long splintered cut from the knife
\nof G T<\/p>\n
The rally man’s patter ran on through the dawn
\nUntil we said so long
\nTo his skull
\nshrill yell<\/p>\n
Shining brightly red-rimmed and
\nRed-lined with the time
\nInfused with the choice of the mind
\nOn ice skates scraping chunks
\nFrom the bells<\/p>\n
Cut mouth bleeding razor’s
\nForgetting the pain
\nAntiseptic remains cool goodbye
\nSo you fly
\nTo the cosy brown snow of the east
\nGone to choose
\nchoose again<\/p>\n
Sacrificials remains make it hard to forget
\nWhere you come from
\nThe stools of your eyes
\nServe to realize fame
\nchoose again<\/p>\n
And roverman’s refrain of the sacrilege recluse
\nFor the loss of a horse
\nWent the bowels and a tail of a rat
\nCome again
\nchoose to go<\/p>\n
And if epiphany’s terror reduced you to shame
\nHave your head bobbed and weaved
\nChoose a side
\nto be on<\/p>\n
If the stone glances off
\nSplit didactics in two
\nLeave the colours of the mouse trails
\nDon’t scream, try between
\nIf you choose, if you choose, try to lose
\nFor the loss of remain come and start<\/p>\n
Start the game
\ni chi chi
\nchi chi i
\nChi chi chi
\nka ta koh
\nChoose to choose
\nChoose to choose, choose to go<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
