So this is prison
I mean Christmas
Some tall windows
Plastered with silt
Views of concrete
Changing slowly
Stoneface aged gracefully
Cracks and wrinkles
Pockets of rust
Where water found solace
This is foul
I mean lovely
The freedom to live
Like lice in a wig
These doors open and shut
Fast
These fasts last longer
Every year the sun is stronger
Until pop
Or fizzle
But this is a party!
I mean a liberation
All the buttons in the world
Sewed into eyes
So this is coffee
I mean working man's fuel
Grateful for biscuits
And motherboard circuits
Elevators and levers
So efficient
There are giant elbows everywhere
Hogging the horizon
These pushpins speak tonnage
Speak to native tongue-age
These adages have appendages
Foreword arrowroot bootstrap
Land ho!
I see me fixing to do
So this is a general store
I mean funeral carnival
Pocket flap stitch sublime
Hollywood grunge sweatpants
These boxes have numbers
Like tattoos or tags
Then there is a reason
Why all things hinge
So this is philosophy
I mean you're being put to death
