(To Lady G.After the last encounter...)


It is soft
Like morning dew
It is sharp like
The slashing razor
It must calm down
The turbulent winds
It's gotta be humane
To be understood
Many orphan words
Are Shanghaied in the cold
And they must work hard
To drive the point home


Glossary

Shanghaied...To conscript workers using coercive methods like intimidation and violence
