Analysis of Nobody sees the path I lay

Mark Cloutier 1972 (Kaneohe)



Time and continuum
Dated and spaced
I get in and I get out
And nobody sees the path I lay
And when the road crosses
The deal is made
And laid at the root
It is something of more time
That is at hand at the clock
And a kingdom and a horse
And of course no one knows
Where to go
Or what direction to take
And before you get out
You got to get in
Moth eaten and gone girl
She is much more than a force
Her first nature is a whore
Then love blooms in her like a flower
And the billowing of power
Is felt
