Copper Dream, Down a Wishing Well

say nay not to wishing wells
your chameleon coin cuffed
I'm long out of change
and you seem to have some
always just enough
at the right place
at the right times
nay to saint nor ring church-bells
what is the answer
I do, I do
before a mutation
behind a veil
a flow of metamorphosis
into a demanding fountain
nay not to drown
but float here just awhile
to watch a prism of social attributes
spewed out in cunning performance
in all these discolored waters
I can't find you
to understand you
I'm left in despair
I'll never discover
because already it is there
deep down your wishing well
a wicked currency
left reworked and confusing
laying at the bottom
never wanting to be found
