| little yawning baby, with your pudding stained fingers fat and ripe, time to slice you up. you look so stunned, did you think no one wouldn�t notice? how they all walk with their sideways feet ears folded shut playing xylophones and learning their abc�s, crying as bulls are set loose with their quarter badges and trigger OCD. listen very carefully: don�t try and hide don�t whisper anymore don�t look away don�t wait anymore but they stand and stare with wide pedestrian eyes and i have no choice. distracted by shoes and toys and mary blankets from immigrants, i still found a way once we watched them both; two pit bulls in a meat locker two roosters with a hen the blood, the rape, the violence and us with our popcorn, strapped in, �don�t tell me that waydon�t look at me that wayit�s not any of their businessi hit you didn�t i? i grabbedhair and skin and boneand wouldhit didn�t i?you lie nowyou�re lying nowwho�s turn is it?� (which is which? round and round, hairbonebloodhairbonebloodhairboneblood �) and then shocked awake it�s in a different pitch too much this time� you won�t take me alive do you understand? you won�t take her alive do you understand? hands so small knuckles wrapped tight it�s all wrong, it�s all wrong, it�s just too much knees shaking beneath yellow beat it down, make it stop it�s so late now, it's too late now two lions with their deer two pterodactyls with their mouse no other choice two feet forward alongside dilapidated walls spinning and frozen inside, �is everything ok?� �hairbonebloodhairbonebloodhairboneblood � so now, where�s your hook? where�s you bat? where�s your war? we�re all here don�t think we can�t- but bulls herding ostrich don�t think you can�t- but back in their coups now, gates come down don�t think i can't- but there�s no one left, they�re all safely tucked asleep �ohmygod� don�t talk that way to me, don�t look that way at me- but he�s smirking his lips covered in chocolate don�t- but- wait! �hairbonebloodhairbonebloodhairboneblood � |
