pole to pole

your feet have fallen through the larger hole

made by the force of years of steady rain

day after day it goes from pole to pole

not one to understand the higher goal

but eager all the same for greater gain

your feet have fallen through the larger hole

you alone know just what it was you stole

but others cannot understand it plain

day after day it goes from pole to pole

thinner the meaning that we could control

but thicker than the warning in the main

your feet have fallen through the larger hole

not one to think it might have turned out droll

yet happy that there was no ugly stain

day after day it goes from pole to pole

we left our boat wrecked on the final shoal

and took the path that we could ascertain

your feet have fallen through the larger hole

day after day it goes from pole to pole
