[Wallace Stevens - Earthy Anecdote lyrics]
Every time the bucks went clattering
Over Oklahoma a firecat bristled in the way
Wherever they went, they went clattering
Until they swerved in a swift, circular line
To the right, because of the firecat
Or until they swerved
In a swift, circular line to the left
Because of the firecat
The bucks clattered
The firecat went leaping
To the right, to the left, and
Bristled in the way
Later, the firecat closed his bright eyes
And slept
Over Oklahoma a firecat bristled in the way
Wherever they went, they went clattering
Until they swerved in a swift, circular line
To the right, because of the firecat
Or until they swerved
In a swift, circular line to the left
Because of the firecat
The bucks clattered
The firecat went leaping
To the right, to the left, and
Bristled in the way
Later, the firecat closed his bright eyes
And slept
