Bend to Squares

Gravitated towards a taste

For foreign films and modern plays

But that machine could only

Bend to squares five to six times

Before your fingers came unwiredWeights down so that you could move forwards, forwards

And you could move forwards, forwardsPinch to snub that restless nerve

And knock the wind from one last urge

With two fingers a rock glass

Time passed and that was that

Quite a slip, a loosened graspWeights down so that you could move forwards, forwards

And you could move forwards, forwards
