Such A Place 03/09/93

We died at such a place
In tomorrows dirty pool
We hoped that we could trace
Our lineage away from fools

And speak of higher plains
Not tainted by chagrin
And drink from future rains
Quench our thirst without a sin

But we died at such a place
After gulping time like drink
And I thought I saw your face
In reflecting presents sink

So I bent my head in reverence
Into the murky deep of now
And tried to grasp deliverance
Without touching you somehow

And we died at such a place
In the futures swirling deep
We drowned with such a grace
Even the Great White had to weep

We died at such a place
Singing the gospel of the drowned
And as we sank we drank the space
And floated to the ground

And licked it dry.
