patience please

little fox, you’ve nearly crossed

this icy river rink coated with frost

don’t crack up or get your tail wet

but hey what’s another death

don’t you dare

compare and despair

i’m so proud

of all the work you’ve done with loving care

so keep your lamps trimmed and burning

keep your wood chopped and carry water brimming

hurrying won’t make the fishes bite faster

worrying will make your wishes scatter

stay in your lane keep moving forward towards those highway keys

my dear, patience please

patience please

little fox, you’ve nearly weaved

these fishnets with finesse and full belief

don’t give up or break a sweat

hey we’ll also grow this bread

little fox, you’ve nearly slowed

learned to sit cross legged for a game of go

now the board’s been reset

hey always ten steps ahead

farewell my love
