Long ago
In this very place
Two weeks of June came in April
All the half-measures of early spring
The raw mornings and frigid rains
Were replaced by a fortnight of summer
Straight up
Clear, warm days and sultry nights.
.
This completely changed everything
Microscopic life forms came on too quickly
And bred with other microscopic life forms
That were still hanging around from winter.
This had never happened before and it produced
All kinds of microscopic life forms
That had never been seen before
Nothing has been the same since
And, oh yeah, people fell in love, too
People who otherwise would never have met
Never otherwise would have had the guts to even ask
Nothing has been the same since.
