The MarchAkvarium
I want to be completely blind,
At night with dust I want to dicker;
At use of brute force I would snicker,
Song Of Myself, XXXIIIWalt Whitman
By the cot in the hospital reaching lemonade to a feverish patient,
Nigh the coffin'd corpse when all is still, examining with a candle;
Voyaging to every port to dicker and adventure,
Hurrying with the modern crowd as eager and fickle as any,
StatementMero
I'm on whether you like it or not (poh, poh, poh)
Yeah, I was on Arbia push back in the day
Digga, from Rotterdam to Dicker Busch
But thank God I didn't get swallowed up like some from my neighborhood here
