recorded in my music room downstairs getting drunk with andy in 2020
lyrics
are crabs just sea spiders
doubtful, but maybe
the gadding vine won't mind her
says seal, yea
she's just fine and
the quarry's neither filled in
nor does she mind the cobwebs
formica forced her exit
beached just southwest of ames
cecilia she's fine
on land or maritime
within an inch of pincers
cecilia's blurring lines
the seal team came and her got her
in a copter bound for maine
hopes set high that it's her fodder
can her ground roots she retain
in the business of resistance
she looks forth to joy's remain
no wandering glory or moth story
like a black widow's refrain
