When listening, do you antici-
Of course! Of course. Me too!
Such a lovely starfield pate
Waterfalls, waterfalls
Applause, applause
Standing next to the river of constant applause!
Run along now, and don’t be late!
Still here? Then poetry we will make.
Clean plate, fresh slate.
And let’s watch how!
Psyche is saved by love
A resuscitation of life’s limerence
A crying clergy in chorus sing
Foul! Foul! Foul!
To such an emotional affair.
We’ll melt the hate.
And let it flow,
… we feel it flow,
Down
the
river
and
into
blue, true pools of constant applause.
Psyché ranimée par le baiser de l’Amour (Psyche revived by the kiss of Love) (1793), Antonio Canova.
