The Lyrics
In response to OMR’s “Atlas” yesterday, Mark Scotti commented: “I know you're writing about maps, but I keep thinking mythology (Atlas).” As a sufferer of low axial hassles, I thought “spine.”
Atlas, atop a column long
That’s ghostly white, like Dover—
Radicles’ billabong.
Oh, yeah, atlas.
Atop what holds up you.
This part is sitting right over
The vertebra C2.
Part of a team that will help keep you
Upbeat and not lying down prone
As is the case each night in sleep; you
Would be a chronic lazybones.
Oh yeah, when you smile, you smile—
Your lips just above that truss
That supports your cranium:
Top of the spine,
Atlas.
That’s ghostly white, like Dover—
Radicles’ billabong.
Oh, yeah, atlas.
Atop what holds up you.
This part is sitting right over
The vertebra C2.
Part of a team that will help keep you
Upbeat and not lying down prone
As is the case each night in sleep; you
Would be a chronic lazybones.
Oh yeah, when you smile, you smile—
Your lips just above that truss
That supports your cranium:
Top of the spine,
Atlas.
