One story one line

so
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
uh
[Music]
oh
[Music]
before she left home she made houses
[Music]
not big ones small ones
[Music]
for any gnomes or fairies that might
live in her frog pond
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
she was so busy making houses
for imaginary people
she didn’t even notice
the real things living nearby
[Music]
little bees
i don’t want to play with you
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
where shall i hide where shall i hide
where shall i hide from these little
[Music]
bees
[Music]
this little girl
was so busy making houses
camps amongst trees and nests
palm sized beds for palm-sized people
and fort caves out of couch cushions
[Music]
this little girl was so
busy making houses
you wouldn’t think a little girl
who made so many houses
would leave home so soon
[Music]
how could
she leave
[Music]
uh
[Music]
oh

their caravan was cramped
but their field was not
[Music]
it curved
over the dry earth
and arched its back
to the sky
[Music]
the grasses in her field grew so high
[Music]

you could hear it
but not feel it

protected
laying there on a bent and folded raft
of grasses
enjoying a little space alone
little sense of place
[Music]
sometimes if you stay still long enough
the space in your head
becomes the space in the sky
[Music]
you wouldn’t think that a little girl
who
spent so much time making houses
enjoying time alone space
near her home
[Music]
you wouldn’t think that she would go so
far away
but she did
[Applause]
you
