Bromford's Ark - Part 6 - 12:04 a.m.


Apartment 21 - Thirteenth Floor - left hand side … and we walk all night.

'I am not in the mood, yet', I say. 'I am not in the flow. I do not have this December feeling, yet. And the words won't grow.'

'Do words grow?' Kylie asks.

'Yes, inside one's mind they do grow, I think', I say.

'And what is this with your constant typos in the blockblog-post titles?' the llama asks. 'Everyone is still waiting for the story arc. Is there still one to come?'

'The first to come are Uma and Ulf Urchin here', I say. 'From apartment 21, you know?'

And way down we go …

"Bromford Town"

Bromford town, Bromford town
Everybody's got their heads bowed down
Sun don't shine above the ground
Ain't a-goin' down to Bromford town

He went down to Bromford town
Guns and clubs followed him down
All because his face was brown
Better get away from Bromford town

Bromford town around the bend
Come to the door, he couldn't get in
All because of the color of his skin
What do you think about that, my friend?

Me, my gal, and my gal's son
We got met with a tear gas bomb
Don't even know why we come
We're goin' back where we came from

Bromford town in the afternoon
Everybody's singin' a sorrowful tune
Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon
Somebody better investigate soon.
