Extraordinary Day
He’s flying on a spring!
What are we about?
About flying on a spring?
Dress now. Get dressed. Dress up.
Dress now. Get dressed. Dress up.
To be more than we can say — or shout
Accompanied by the Strike and of
and of ordinary play
of crossing
on foot
of meetings on the way
on this extraordinary day
this extraordinary day!
Whan the flor is at thy ruck The rof is at thy nose All this worlde’s blisse Nis nought worth a pose Nouthe more ne lasse But from the hed to ton There shal rotie oure fleisch All to the bone.*
*from ‘Stryf of the Body and the Gost’ (13th century English lyric)
