Clouds

Raymond Robinson 1987 (California)

Clouds, clouds,
In great big forms.
Clouds, clouds,
In great big swarms.
Shaped like a bird.
Shaped like a dragon.
Sittin' outside in my old red wagon
Watching the clouds as they go passing by.
I wonder how they got their form.
I wonder how, I wonder why.
