   In  a  river     the   color   of   lead
  you   kicked  and cried     like  a   bullied  child
  a  shoeless   child         on  a    swing

  immerse      the baby's head                                 wrap her up
             a  grown  man   of  twenty-five                     oh   he

   said   he'd   cure   your   ills          but he didn't and he never will
