"What I know" Frog Song IV [frog lyric]
I don't know about hours nor dayswhat I know is here in the air
to be half an hour alive in this world
requires a fierce desire
what I know is very practical
& I'm seeing it everywhere
to be half an hour alive in this world
you've got to sing with fire
I don't know about months nor years
what I know is here in the pond
to be half n week alive in this world
is not some idle game
what I know is philosophical
it involves a living bond
to be half a week alive in this world
your heart cannot be tame
[these songs are related to a prose fable, The Frog Literatus]

very fine and easy to understand poem
Very interesting. I like that the frog says:
I don't know about hours nor days/months nor years
and then proceeds to wax eloquent on "half an hour" and "half a week".
