The Parting Gift

from Black Sulphur Spring by Bob Drake

/

lyrics

When you finally said you would be going
back to your place beyond the sky
you promised to leave us something
to remember you by.
We were afraid you would
and that’s no lie.

We vainly hoped it would be somehow innocuous,
an alien plant or statuette,
something we could make excuses for
when the neighbours began to ferret.
But no - you left a monstrous robot
with diabolical intent:
the disintegration of space and time on Earth,
beginning here,
in my basement...

Its influence is propagating
the way you knew it would.
Observe the increase of mutations
all around the neighbourhood.
