The Shadow Men

Several men filed into a clearing
and some sat down to rest
on a hollow log covered
with green moss that most
would venture to say was green

and some saw men who levitated
seated on nothing but air
and quietly they were astonished
It did make a sound No it
did not it did did not

when out of the end of the hollow
log a mouse came
and some of the seven or nine men
saw the mouse and said
look it's a moose

You mean mouse
No I mean moose You're crazy
Look at the antlers
Some of the men saw nothing
and were deeply concerned

The fourteen suns arched slowly
the twelve suns ran quickly
the eight suns were still
The shadow men bickered and babbled
and some filed out of the clearing
