But then, in haste! workmen arrive And swarm utility poles up Returning all to "broadcast live" Giving true living up

The Day the Power Went Out (and Came Back Again) (Reprise)
Author: Ana Daksina
A poet is the strangest sort of soul
You in this life may e'er expect to meet
More broken even while more truly whole,
Innocently intending well, more sweet
Than any but a five year old should be
Unfit to meet a callused world's demand
Or to behave aught expediently
All grace in flight; an albatross on land
Do not the all too common error make
Do not fall into the too easy trap
Avoid the fatal egoic mistake
Imagining that poet be a sap
Powerful spirits classic and antique
Give voice when poets ope their mouths to speak
The Change (Reprise)
Disparagement of what we've got While lusting after what we've not Is a disease our culture through And that disease has got to you
The Beauties of This Day (Reprise)
Begin to bring self inwardly From such beauty some apart That coming separation will not Break thy tender heart
The Answer (Reprise)
Small notice felt you need to make Other people's oddness of You had the best that life could give Already -- you had love!
Tenderly Remade (Reprise)
Remembering cooperation Gets us where hatred cannot Remembering true happiness May borrowed be but never bought...
Tell it Like it Is (Reprise)
Someone you'll surely inconvenience Some entrenched power irritate, forsooth That shining holy day when you commence To tell the whole unmitigated truth...
It Appears That the Poet Will Continue Working
Rescue seems to be on its way.
