i. Sun
I remember. The enchanted English walled Days of summer air and nights The dance of lavenders and cabbage-whites Made more than 3D, in the evening long-shadowed sun Nowhere better. But in England, although really changes, the weather always does...
ii. The
The gold us The gold did The gold took more than Uranium Than Pandemonium...
The thunder The heavy of the monster... to break the heavy weather Come to silence all the birds up the sky like paper White-welding through dark of clouds And the release of the rain
The stops us The always did The gold more lives than Uranium Plutonium. Pandemonium. The Gold!
Jet and demolition And the rain finding a lost child
The roads are travelled by Like of peace And choose not to go The f e a r like bravado It did I see them waiting, On the borders in dawn's Or lost to the world in their boats be free or I'll die trying to be to BE.

No, you see into my head.
And the roads are of weapons That slide by in the Tanks all covered in mud you on the motorway As you drive by with the kids and the and spades Days.
v. The of Apes
in the air Brimstone in the Breathe of it The wind is the pictures The rain is muttering the The in my garden ring like keys To all the doors.
We are the of apes, not angels But only we are gifted with the to see On days without f e a r, when our heads are angels, we could be.
