The sphere boy asked

how come they are like that
grinning and evil and taking my smiles
away from me and my marble toys

they want to know
they want to know

how come they know so much
still grinning and evil and taking my hands
away from me into no embrace

they want to touch
they want to touch

how come they touch like that
grinning and evil and taking my shoes
away from me into a no path

they want to walk
they want to walk

how come they always walk backwards
grinning and evil and looking at me
still standing here with my marble toys

they want to play boy
they want to play
