“Sing little boxDon't let sleep overtake youThe world's awake within youIn your four-sided emptinessWe turn distance into nearnessForgetfulness into memoryDon't let your nails come looseFor the very first timeWe watch sights beyond this worldThrough your keyholeTurn your key in our mouthsSwallow words and numbersOut of your songDon't let your lid fly openYour bottom dropSing little box”
