A vixen sits upon the benchHer body asking questions,Her stinging complicationsReflecting off the greenOf liquid glass – A burning vein of waterA shallow, backwards riverThat stretches on foreverFrom future to the past.Her shoulders turn to face meI tilt my head to tell herThat I want no part of knowledgeAnd it only brings despair.But I fail and now I followAs she walks toward the streetlightsThe torches of a city plagued byHumid, heavy air.And as she turns her head around she smiles,Her eyes, two pools of dying blue;And I struggle to catch upTo find out where we’re going to.And pretty soon we are aloneCut off from every personHer attitude’s possessionAnd I’m a little pawnIn her little game.Because I really wanna do thisAnd I would not fight to change this,And those it’s not the safest thing to doI decide to stay.She says, “O! Simple Soldier,Just march toward the riverSo we can fall togetherAnd there will be no difference Between you and me.Because I think you have the answer,Some fucking grain of cancer;The only, holy chance whereOur bodies will be free!”And as I nod my head the lights go out.Then gravity dissolves the room.And I struggle with my brain that tells me,“Stop!”Oh, the mirrors bled!And, “Oh! My aching head”And, “Oh! How about instead-”“Just shut your mouth andCrawl into my bed!”In your eyes I saw babies dieI saw fathers cryI saw priests collideI watched crosses crash into the countrysideThe way in which we live our lives.A silver statue made of crimeThe march of evil, bastard time.And I saw youLift off of meAnd exhale-Your body; tired, rigid, paleAnd you collapse.
