jester lover emperor death

breath by breath by breath by breath

baby youth adult and aged

lock us up in keyless cages

sand grain pebble mountain peak

mighty mediocre weak

sage and dunce and quick and slow

continuum—where will we go

him and her and me and you

right and wrong and black and blue

hidden sighted silent heard

word by word by word by word

round and round and round and round

soulless sainted lost and found
