Through the motions, he does it once a year
a trip will save him from falling as he stands
sometimes he knows just how the city feels
electric shock boy. moving from your hands
crush the pines
into a splintering of tears
bleeding past the lines
burning through his ears
his favorite people keep biting at his heels
those fury creatures are at it once again
sometimes he knows just how the country feels.
feels abandoned. touch it to your skin.
mark my words
he'll drive the swine right off a cliff
cut it into thirds
damned if he persists
