lyrics

Plastic and oh so limited
the last fantastic book
queued up for its final perfect poems
they came in one by one
their heads bowed
humble
in languorously long lines
and short ones
too

The last fantastic book took one look at a world
where word no longer took hold
screwed up its eyes and jumped
out
up
into the dark

And the people looked up from their screens
and were woken from their dreams
their electronic dreams
and marvelled at the wonder in the sky
the passing flash of the nearest newest star –
the last fantastic book

A scribbled stealthy secret satellite
of syntax and verbal symmetry

The last fantastic book
