With milk teeth, why did you bite granite?

Your daydream errand, why begin it?

Why, too late, try to save a minute?

What did you want then, after all?

Your nakedness you always flaunted,

tore off the scabs from wounds you vaunted,

you’re famous, if that’s what you wanted.

And have you done your time? You fool.

Did you give love? Who would embrace you?

Fugitive! who would even chase you?

Just make the best of what will face you:

no breadknife, and of course no bread.

You’re in the Seven Tower for good.

Be glad if you have firewood,

glad for a pillow to your bed,

be a good boy, lay down your head.
