Lyrics

Very early I clearly realized the pleasures of seeing and song
I learned to sing at an early year
In the cot I recall my singing about a certain thing I saw
I recall a song in the key of C concerning a thing seen just so
I sang: "A-P-R-I-C-O-T abbreviates Attain Perfect Realization In The Cot."
I sang: "Cot contains certain shining irreducible contributions
So does the charnel. So does the ferris wheel gondola."
Singing words devised for seeing "through not with eyes"
"I am not what I see"
"I is another"
Words devised to peep into the gone or coming were shunned by me
I referred to a single moment
Early in a clearing I recall my singing songs of my seeing things just so
I sang: "A net, a gem at every node, in each all others shining show --
Whole kit and kaboodle lit by an apricot's golden glow."
