I’ve made my bed
But I can’t lie in it
It hurts to force
A piece that doesn’t fit
Pray tonight,
That the path that is laid here before us
Doesn’t form us
Or inter us
I walk this fence,
En route to permanence
But cannot trump
The urgent need to jump
Pray tonight
That the path that is here before us
Doesn’t form us
Or inter us
Lately I
Want to trade out the home for the forest
And the richest
for the poorest
Why
Why’s our escape so high
And ominous?
We don these masks
Of an upright human class
But can’t escape
The trappings of the ape
All of us
All of us
Time
Why does it feel like time
Swallows us?
Why
Why’s our escape so high
And ominous?
