lirik lagu john updike - an oddly lovely day alone
the kids went off to school
the wife to the hairdresser
or so she says, in boston~~~
“he takes forever. bye.”
i read a book, doing my job
around eleven, the rat man came~~~
our man from pest control
though our rats have long since died
he wears his hair rat~style~~~
cut short, brushed back~~~and told me
his minister had written a book
and “went on television with it.”
the proceeds, however, unlike mine
would be devoted, every cent
to a missionary church
in yucatan
time went by silently. for lunch
i warmed up last night’s pizza
and added my plate to the dishwasher
and soap, and punched full cycle
a book, a box of raisins
and bed. the phone rang once
a woman whose grant had not come through
no fault of mine
“that’s all right,” i told her
“just yesterday
i failed to win
the national book critics’ circle prize.”
the book was good. the bed was warm
each hour seemed a rubber band
the preoccupied fingers of god
were stretching at his desk
a thump, not a dishwasher thump
the afternoon paper: it said
an earthquake had struck iran
mere minutes after the shah had left
the moral seemed clear
more time passed, darkening
all suddenly unbeknownst
the afternoon had begun to snow~~~
to darken, darken and snow:
a fantastic effect, widespread
if people don’t entertain you
nature will
