“Take a lump of clay,

wet it, pat it,

Make a statue of you,

and make a statue of me

and then shatter them,

clatter them,

add some H2O

and break them and

mold them

and a statue of me,

Then in mine, there

are bits of you, and

in you there are bits of me.

Nothing ever shall

keep us apart.”
