  i  will  sail to the far shore,
  and i  will chop a hole in the hull too big to repair,
  and i  will turn the soil with my hands,
  and i  will make my home there.
  my  garden  will  grow so high.
  my  garden  will  grow so high.
  that  i will be completely hidden.
  i will go where i will go,
  and i will jettison all dead weight,
  and i will use these words for kindling,
  and i will sleep by the garden gate.
  my garden will grow so high.
  my garden will grow so high.
  that i will be completely hidden.
