There's Something At The Bottom Of The Black Pool-Augie March[00:00:03]

There's something at the bottom of the black pool [00:00:11]

I daren't dredge it up not while the weather's still cool [00:00:15]

It's a feathered thing its origins are mixed and untrue [00:00:19]

Once a straw-body now a lamb-picker now a clove in a black brew [00:00:22]

I think of the peacocks of the gorge[00:00:28]

And I think of the gryphons they kept in the Tower Zoo [00:00:30]

The unexpected water swept all before it[00:00:34]

As it rushed on terrible through -[00:00:37]

And left them all dead and spread through the park [00:00:40]

Amid the myriad mangles of the coming dark -[00:00:44]

Of the shadow of a loon the howl from a bloody craw [00:00:47]

Those strange interruptions don't scare me anymore [00:00:51]

Since all the while the weather was cool[00:00:56]

I stood at the crumbling edge of the black pool [00:01:00]

Perhaps a pigeon fell off its stool [00:01:10]

I have drowned a conscience or two [00:01:15]

There are palm trees and clouds and the under-sides of drowned blues [00:01:18]

And sometimes the faces of people I think I knew [00:01:23]

I know at one time this thing flew [00:01:27]

I have sunk an ambition or two [00:01:30]

Now when I think to drink then I wonder with who [00:01:33]

I pretend that I'm sitting in the booth with you -[00:01:37]

O what a f**kin' sentence what a f**kin' noise [00:01:40]

I don't know these girls I don't trust these boys [00:01:44]

And over there in the corner there hangs a strange bird [00:01:47]

Sings a strange song but it won't be heard [00:01:51]

A song to enquire whither went the milk money[00:01:55]

While the darling babes of Toorak were a'yowling for their honey [00:02:00]

Let's walk up this hill let's go walking up this hill [00:02:24]

The sun is in the middle of the sky the grass is yellow from being dry [00:02:33]

There's music there's you many others here and I [00:02:41]

Up the hill then up where those holy lodestones lie -[00:02:48]

How suddenly still and though the wind blow [00:02:54]

From here we will never leave or go [00:02:59]

And but for a will and but for companions [00:03:02]

We might go tumbling home below [00:03:06]

To a place at the table to gamble and settle [00:03:10]

Make the words amiable and able[00:03:13]

Of resting assured in the breast of that bird [00:03:17]

That I sure did not suffer a fool [00:03:21]

Since all the while the weather was cool[00:03:25]

I stood at the crumbling edge of the black pool[00:03:29]
