Against What Simon Says

Simon says

Sail tame seas

I chase grave waves through phantom

Bays

Simon says

Prize paved pathways

I blaze maze trails through crooked haze

Simon says

Wear calm like chains

I rain bright fire through wire veined

Rains

Simon says

Speak safe

Stay small

I call wild squalls from cathedral walls

Simon says

Trust maps and marks

I chart heart sparks through unstarred

Darks

Simon says

Bow low

Obey

I sow gold revolt where his dull roots lay

Simon says

Simon stays

His tongue shapes cages

Mine shapes blazes

His laws are locks

My thoughts are foxes

His road is paved

My soul is waves

Against what Simon says

I raise my blaze
