A kind of linguistic inquiry
both playful and serious.
The first three verses are the foundation
beneath all the following verses.
The beginning has therefore conditioned and configured
that,
which is to follow,
its content,
not the order,
yet the final catch
is pure chance.
The chorus reflects and echoes,
in one way or the other,
a human responsibility
for the outcome
of each single
verse.
And the final words place
the top on the cherry
or the other way around.
