The Sky Looks Like It Can Care Less




                  The sky looks like it can care less
 
                              after the traditional fireworks display



            The sky looks like it can care less
            The folks on the river are drinking air
            By the blue water-lilies and waltzing cicadas
            As if something momentous were about to happen

            And in the famed red of the moonlight
            A make-up artist comes out and paints the skin
              of the sky
            The pretty indifferent face turns away divinely
            It makes the crazed public's teeth throb

            And red as garnets the old fish in the river
            Watch the fools and watch me -- a fool --
            And take in some of the Cosmetics Demonstration
            With eyes fixed vividly on the Resurrection
