It's going to happen very soon.
A green one, with mottled skin, an indent towards us, and a curious white dot at the center of that indent.
Next Tuesday, when the sun goes down
I will play the Moonlight Sonata backwards.
A kidney-bean-shaped blue one, with the kink down-right.
This wil reverse the effects of the world's mad plunge into suffering
for the last two hundred million years.
A red nut, with a lump that seems welded on, or perhaps splitting off.
Yellow, with a ripped and torn shell, a half-covered nut partially exposed to us, irregularly bespattered.
What a lovely night that will be!
A yellow double nut, cleanly fused, smooth all over.
What a sigh of relief as the senile robins become bright red again
and the retired nightingales pick up their dusty tails
and assert the majesty of creation.
An orange nut, round, with a dark dot facing us.
