As I Suspected

where is the mantra
where are the codes
where is the season
and its antipodes?

i was sent here
with a list to check
numbers three thru nine
have all gone to heck

so i learned something new
a way to improvise
i burned the list
to see what ashes buy

as i suspected
just as i feared
nothing happens
when nothing's weird

everything normal
everything divine
where is my mantra
will you still be mine?

love is this, love is that
love cannot save you
it's not made for that
it comes from nothing
and flies like a bird
when it alights on you
who needs a word?
