there’s no light
to hide your light under
a bushel basket
if you’ve become the basket
filled with smoke from
when the light went out
a kind of soul
basket case is what
they called the soldiers
in the first world war
who lost all four limbs
and couldn’t get around
now it’s a useless
person or one
that can’t cope
and a cope is a cloak
like a cape or
what you try to do
when you’ve lost hope
but it comes
from the latin word for hood
or a cap for your head
like a hat or a cover
like a lid for a basket
for a bushel
of smoke
from a light
that went out
why did the light go out
no cope
