Gather round me all my words!
Aunty Change has said to gather,
said the Emperor comes to the palace.
Come closer to me, closer!
Arrange yourselves in order,
peasants, merchants, artisans, lords,
common nouns and working verbs,
beautiful adjectives, names of glory.
Assume your syntax, raise your swords,
shouting, roaring, inventing meanings.
Save me from the silent demons.
Where there’s blue shout red! red!
Where there’s end make story, story.
