Amber Songtext
von Ken Nordine

Amber believes in being neutral
Or more correctly
Has been placed in a position to make it appear
That that is its truth
Pure amber neutrality
Here, in the dizzying come and go
Amber, being in the middle
Observes a most careful disinterestedness
Plays referee in the roundabout between red and green Amber from its vantage winks
Among the many millions stops and goes
Because amber knows from the bottom of its amber
That even creatures made in God′s image
Even something as smart
And as special
And as serious as that
Has to be told when to stop
Has to be told when to go


Or the monuments to gregarious
That we call cities
Would become huge falling-apart, hopelessly-snarled
Bumper-to-bumper, horn-blasting monuments to traffic jam

If amber would be on all the time
Staring, neutral amber
Death to a million angry, biased horns
